House to Vote on Expelling Rep. George Santos Amid Calls for Removal Over Lies

Embattled Rep. George Santos faces possible expulsion from the House on Wednesday, which would make him the first congressman removed without a criminal conviction in over 20 years.

Republicans are divided on ousting Santos despite lying about his background, with some citing due process concerns and not wanting to set a precedent.

Only 5 lawmakers have been expelled in U.S. history, all for treason or corruption convictions except Santos.

Santos' former campaign treasurer pleaded guilty to wire fraud and identity theft, providing evidence for expulsion.

The move is driven by Santos' NY Republican colleagues worried about reelection in swing districts.
