The Republican Party has two major problems on its hands right now.

An ungovernable House majority that is quickly descending into chaos,

and a party standard bearer facing 91 felony counts who is doing everything he can to get the case against

him thrown out of the courts. There are big developments in both of those stories

and we are going to get to all of them this hour. But if there is one person who embodies the dual crises facing the GOP

right now, the dual problem of house chaos and alleged Republican

criminality, it is this guy. Congress. and alleged Republican criminality.

It is this guy, Congressman George Santos,

a serial fabulous who remains in the House of Representatives

despite being charged with 13 counts of fraud, money laundering, and theft.

He's still there.

And today the former treasurer for Santos' campaign pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge.

That staffer admitted to having made up fake campaign donations for Santos' campaign.

And that conspiracy charge is part of the broader case against her boss, George Santos,

who has been accused of crimes that range from defrauding donors

to falsifying official paperwork to lying to the government

in order to get pandemic aid.

So the fact that this Santos campaign official is now admitting to some part of that

alleged scheme, that is bad news for George Santos.

And yet Congressman George Santos remains a member in good standing

of the House Republican Conference.

He has not been publicly denounced by a majority of his Republican colleagues the way that, for example, Democratic Senator Bob Menendez has, and continues to be by members of his party for his criminal indictment.
