A New York state Republican on Thursday made a privileged motion in the U.S. House of Representatives to expel indicted fellow Republican George Santos from Congress, a move that forces the chamber to hold a vote on the question.
The action was precipitated by the filing of 23 fresh federal criminal counts against the first-term U.S. congressman earlier this month,of inflating his campaign's fundraising numbers and charging campaign contributors' credit cards without their consent.
"Three points of clarification: 1. I have not cleared out my office. 2. I'm not resigning. 3. I'm entitled to due process and not a predetermined outcome as some are seeking. God bless!" Santos tweeted on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, after D'Esposito's motion. Newly elected Speaker Mike Johnson said in an interview on Fox News late on Thursday that Santos has a right to due process. "If we're going to expel people from Congress just because they're charged with a crime ... that's a problem," Johnson said.
