NY GOP reps introduce bill to ban George Santos from profiting off fame if convicted
A group of New York Republicans introduced legislation in Congress on Tuesday that seeks to ban House members from profiting off of fame that results from being convicted of certain crimes.
The legislative package, consisting of the “No Fame for Fraud Resolution” and the “No Fortune for Fraud Act,” appears aimed squarely at Rep. George Santos (R-NY), despite the fact he is not mentioned by name in the bills.
“I am committed to advancing good, accountable government here in our nation’s capital, and that includes preventing elected officials who broke the public’s trust from profiting from their misdeeds,” Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, the freshman sponsor of the legislation, said in a statement.
“Con artists, liars, and fabulists who lied their way into Congress should not be able to monetize their lies, and this legislative package would ensure they are unable to do so,” D’Esposito said.
