George Santos Defrauded Ohio Republican Congressman and His Mother, Says Rep. Max Miller
Disgraced former Republican Congressman George Santos may have already been kicked out of Congress, but a new controversy for him just popped up as Republican Rep. Max Miller of Ohio claims he and his mother were defrauded by his infamous colleague.
Miller reportedly made the revelation of the accusation just before the vote to kick Santos out of Congress was made. He is also one of the Republicans who voted to expel the controversial now-former New York representative.
NBC News managed to get hold of a letter from Rep. Miller and it showed that the Ohio Republican just learned of Santos stealing from him and his mother earlier this year. In that letter, Miller wrote that the Santos campaign "had charged my personal credit card - and the personal card of my Mother - for contribution amounts that exceeded FEC limits. Neither my Mother nor I approved these charges or were aware of them."
Miller also revealed that after Santos stole from them, he spent "tens of thousands of dollars" in legal fees dealing with the situation. He also noted that he has seen a list of 400 people whom he believes were overcharged by Santos. The list includes other Republican House members.
The Ohio representative was notable during the Santos expulsion vote for trading barbs with the controversial New York congressman. He infamously told Santos during that vote on Thursday, "You, sir, are a crook."
"While I understand and respect the position of those who will vote against the expulsion resolution, my personal experience related to the allegations and findings of the Ethics Committee compels me to vote for the resolution," wrote Miller in his letter, addressing his Republican colleagues who stood by Santos.
