House to Vote on Historic Effort to Expel Rep. George Santos Amid Growing Calls over Fraud Charges
-
The House is expected to vote Wednesday on expelling Rep. George Santos, who faces federal criminal charges related to financial fraud.
-
A group of NY Republicans, including Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, introduced the resolution to oust Santos. It requires a 2/3 vote.
-
Speaker Johnson doesn't support removing Santos without due process. Some say it could set a dangerous precedent.
-
But NY Republicans in swing districts say there's evidence Santos is unfit to serve, citing new charges related to a fake $500K campaign loan.
-
If expelled, Santos would be the first rep removed without a conviction since the Civil War and only the 6th in history.
