Rep. George Santos was notably absent from the Long Island Association Breakfast due to an ongoing investigation by the House Ethics Committee. This decision reflects the growing tensions surrounding Santos, particularly among his congressional colleagues, who gathered at the event with approximately 400 attendees without him[1][4].
The investigation into Santos has led to significant scrutiny and calls for accountability, with some of his former allies in the GOP now pushing for his expulsion from Congress[8]. His exclusion from prominent events like the Long Island breakfast underscores the challenges he faces amid these allegations and the shifting dynamics within his party[3][4].
