George Santos selling tour of capital grounds to donors..could be ethics violation

https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3797509-santos-charging-to-attend-swearing-in-reports/amp/

Fellow New York congressman Rep. Ritchie Torres (D) suggested in a tweet on Thursday that Santos’s invitations to his swearing-in could represent an ethics violation.


“George Santos, who never misses an opportunity to violate Congressional Ethics, is charging people for touring the US Capitol and attending his Congressional swearing-in,” he said. “Is the US Capitol one of the 13 properties in the imaginary Santos real estate empire?”

However, Santos and other representatives-elect did not end up being in sworn on Tuesday as the battle for Speaker of the House dragged on and delayed the event.
