On Friday morning, the House of Representatives voted to expel Representative George Santos from Congress. Over 100 Republicans, along with nearly every Democrat, joined forces to remove the embattled New York Republican following the House Ethics Committee’s November report, which stated that there was “substantial” evidence of Santos violating federal criminal laws.
The committee’s exhaustive 10-month inquiry revealed that Santos allegedly misappropriated campaign funds for personal use, participated in “fraudulent conduct,” and submitted “false or incomplete reports” to the Federal Election Commission during his 2022 election campaign.
Despite the serious allegations, Santos maintains his innocence and has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from a federal criminal investigation. The 23-count indictment includes accusations of theft from his donors and falsification of campaign filings.
