Overview
- Video captured by TMZ shows Rep. Lauren Boebert entering George Santos’ private “Santos Claus” party while several of her staffers were denied at the door.
- The doorman was identified as Vish Burra, a former Santos aide, who told Boebert she was on the list and later stated that only handpicked guests were admitted.
- The reported attendee list featured sitting House members, including Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Tim Burchett, alongside high-profile figures Martin Shkreli and Anna Delvey.
- TMZ also reported that Real Housewives of New York City alum Leah McSweeney attended, and that Rep. Anna Paulina Luna had staffers who were turned away.
- Coverage notes Santos left prison in October after President Donald Trump commuted his sentence, while some reports inaccurately referred to a pardon.
