Less than a week after the House of Representatives voted to expel George Santos (R-N.y.) from the chamber and whispers are already spreading as to what the disgraced Congressman will do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santos, who is facing over 20 federal counts, has attracted attention since stepping foot in Congress triggering questions over a potential career in the media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A network source said NBC News and MSNBC \u201chave no plans\u201d of exploring any kind of relationship with the former congressman. A spokesperson for CNN said the network does not plan on speaking with him. A Fox News source said \u201cwe have no intention of entertaining that notion.\u201d A NewsNation spokesperson said the network will not be hiring Santos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OAN, which has aired commentary critical of Santos, said through a spokesperson: \u201cWe are unaware of Mr. Santos seeking a position in media. Nor have we reached out to him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newsmax, where Santos has appeared frequently in recent weeks, did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
