The House has voted to refer a Democrat-led resolution to expel embattled GOP Rep. George Santos to the Ethics Committee
California Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia introduced a privileged resolution this week to expel Santos from Congress. When the resolution came up for floor consideration, Republicans made a motion to refer it to the House Ethics Committee, triggering a vote on whether to send the resolution to the panel instead of a vote directly on the expulsion measure itself. A vote to expel Santos would be politically perilous for House Republicans.
A tweet from the congressman’s Twitter account said at the time that he was “fully cooperating” in the probe and would not comment further. Separately, Santos was recently indicted and pleaded not guilty to 13 federal charges, including allegations of fraud related to Covid-19 unemployment benefits, misusing campaign funds and lying about his personal finances on House disclosure reports.
