House Ethics Committee has released a report showing "substantial evidence" that freshman Congressman George Santos (R-NY) has been using campaign funds to purchase luxury goods, cosmetic treatments, and gambling. The report has been met with swift condemnation from both parties and has prompted further investigation into the money trail. Despite Santos' claims of a Deep State conspiracy, the evidence has cast a dark cloud over his future in the House of Representatives, reminding members of the need for greater transparency and accountability in the use of campaign funds.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has formed a new House subcommittee, led by Rep. Jim Jordan, to investigate the Justice Department, FBI, and other "Deep State" players.

It remains to be seen whether McCarthy will be successful in his efforts, and how the subcommittee's investigations will unfold in the coming months.
