Derek Myers told staff of the House's ethics subcommittee he sent over $1,000 to Santos' director of operations, Vish Burra.
Derek Myers told staff of the House's ethics subcommittee he sent at least seven $150 payments to Santos' director of operations, Vish Burra. Chantee Lans reports.A man who briefly worked as an aide to U.S. Rep. George Santos says he got his job after sending a series of payments to one of the Republican's top deputies.
Myers said he began sending the money unsolicited because he believed Burra, a right-wing political operative, wasn't getting paid by the House at the time and couldn't afford food. But he said he also hoped the payments might help him secure a job.Burra, a reliable presence beside Santos who helped escort his boss away from journalists after his arraignment in federal court last month, declined to comment.
In a February letter sent to the House Committee on Ethics, Myers said he was ousted after he spurned Santos' sexual advances, accusing the congressman of running his hand along his inner leg and touching his groin while they were alone in the office.The House Ethics Committee is investigating several allegations of improper behavior by Santos, who has admitted to fabricating much of his biography and is currently facing federal charges that include fraud and money laundering.
He described finding Burra online, then pushing for a job at Santos's office out of an earnest desire to help the scandal-scarred representative.
