George Santos says he'll attend State of the Union
Disgraced former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., told ABC News Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott that he plans on attending the State of the Union.
Former members have privileges to be on the House floor and Santos retained his privileges despite being expelled, though it's unclear -- based on Santos' past history of misstatements and exaggerations -- if he'll actually attend or if his comments amount to bluster.
The Republican, who was expelled in December in the wake of being charged with multiple criminal felonies, including fraud, first gained notoriety after it was revealed he fabricated parts of his background. (He has pleaded not guilty to his charges.)
Since leaving the House, he has found success on the video service Cameo and appeared on the show hosted by comedian Ziwe Fumudoh.
