A group of New York state Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives will introduce a motion to expel indicted fellow Republican George Santos from the chamber, two of the members said on Wednesday.
The move comes a day after federal prosecutors filed 23 fresh criminal counts against the first-term U.S. representative,of inflating his campaign's fundraising numbers and charging campaign contributors' credit cards without their consent.
Santos pleaded not guilty to an initial May indictment and has said he will do the same for the new one. "He has no business being in the halls of the House of Representatives. He's an immoral person, he's an untrustworthy person, he's scammed hundreds of thousands of voters," Representative Nick LaLota, a Republican who also represents a New York suburb, told reporters on Wednesday.
"If they want to be judge, jury and arbitrator of the whole goddamn thing, let them do it," Santos said on Wednesday.
