Rep. George Santos Faces Expulsion Following Damning Ethics Report

House Ethics Committee Chair Introduces Resolution for Expulsion Vote After Thanksgiving

Rep. George Santos, a first-term Republican from Long Island, N.Y., is facing expulsion from Congress following a damning House Committee on Ethics report.
The report alleges Santos used campaign funds for personal expenses, including luxury goods and cosmetic procedures, and reported fictitious loans to induce further campaign contributions.
Santos is also facing 23 federal criminal charges, including fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, and making false statements.
House Ethics Committee Chair Michael Guest has introduced a resolution to expel Santos, with a vote likely to take place after Thanksgiving.
Santos has announced he will not seek reelection in 2024, but has not indicated plans to resign from Congress.
