As charges pile up against Rep. George Santos, his Republican colleagues from New York want him out of Congress.
Washington — A New York Republican moved forward with an effort to expel Rep. George Santos from Congress on Thursday, a day before the indicted congressman is expected to plead not guilty to additional federal charges. Rep. Anthony D'Esposito introduced the resolution to expel Santos as privileged, meaning the House must consider the measure within two legislative days. Under the Constitution, expulsion requires a two-thirds vote in favor.
The superseding indictment also alleges he falsified campaign finance reports to hit fundraising benchmarks and bolster his campaign. Santos is set to appear in court on Friday for his arraignment in the superseding indictment. The new charges renewed the efforts to expel Santos after House Republicans blocked a Democratic attempt in May.
