Speaker Mike Johnson called George Santos to talk ‘options’ ahead of likely expulsion

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) revealed Monday that he had spoken with lying Rep. George Santos (R-NY) “about his options” ahead of a potential vote this week to expel the GOP pol from Congress.

Johnson said during a press conference in Sarasota, Fla., that he and Santos talked “at some length” over the Thanksgiving holiday as the Long Island congressman faces a third expulsion vote following a damning ethics report detailing his abuse of campaign funds.

The report cites the 35-year-old Santos for several campaign finance violations not already mentioned in the 23-count federal indictment against him, including lavish trips and splurges on Botox, luxury goods and X-rated OnlyFans subscriptions.

House Ethics Committee Chairman Michael Guest (R-Miss.) released the detailed look at Santos’ finances on Nov. 16, unveiling a resolution the following day to remove the truth-challenged lawmaker from Congress.

“It’s not yet determined, but we’ll be talking about that when we get back tomorrow,” Johnson told reporters when asked about the likelihood of the motion coming to the House floor this week.

With the swearing in of Rep.-elect Celeste Maloy (R-Utah) Tuesday night, Republicans will have a narrow 222-213 majority in the House.

The expulsion resolution requires a two-thirds vote to pass — 290 “yea” votes if every lawmaker shows up and makes their voice heard.

Guest’s motion is not yet scheduled for consideration, but Democratic Reps. Dan Goldman (D-NY) and Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) may force the issue by filing their own privileged expulsion resolution on Tuesday, which must be taken up within two legislative days of its introduction, a source familiar with the matter told The Post following an initial report by The Messenger.

Santos has pleaded not guilty to all federal charges, which allege further instances of campaign finance fraud, and announced that he would not seek re-election in 2024.

His former campaign treasurer Nancy Marks and former fundraiser Samuel Miele pleaded guilty earlier this fall to falsifying campaign finance records and defrauding donors, respectively.

Santos evaded two earlier attempts at removal — the first of which was led by Democrats and the second of which by Republicans — but in a live X Space on Friday night told listeners he expects his luck will run out this time.

“I know I’m going to get expelled when this expulsion resolution goes to the floor,” he said. “I’ve done the math over and over, and it doesn’t look really good.”

But Santos added that he would “wear it like a badge of honor” as “the sixth expelled member of Congress” and “the only one expelled without a conviction.”

He also blasted fellow lawmakers for their own decadence.

“I have colleagues who are more worried about getting drunk every night with the next lobbyist that they’re gonna screw and pretend like none of us know what’s going on, and sell off the American people, not show up to vote because they’re too hungover or whatever the reason is, or not show up to vote at all and just give their card out like f–king candy for someone else to vote for them,” Santos thundered.

He is expected to stand trial in federal court beginning Sept. 9, 2024, after repeatedly refusing calls to resign before the end of his term.

Santos did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
