Prosecutors said Philip Sean Grillo, who is running for the seat previously held by George Santos, had videotaped himself during the 2021 attack on the Capitol.
Grillo in May filed as a candidate for New York’s 3rd Congressional District seat — the seat Santos, a Republican, held until his expulsion from the House last week following a scathing Ethics Committee report. The Justice Department noted that during his trial, Grillo testified that he had “no idea” that Congress convened inside the Capitol.
In other words, the perfect Republican congressional candidate.
