Dem Rep Introduces Resolution To Expel George Santos

CBS News reports:

The House will try again this week to expel embattled GOP Rep. George Santos after Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia moved Tuesday to force a vote on ousting him this week.

The California lawmaker introduced a “privileged” resolution to expel the New York Republican after a damning report from the House Ethics Committee earlier this month said there was “substantial evidence” that Santos repeatedly broke the law.

Santos, who has criticized the report’s findings as “slanderous,” said last Friday that he expects to be expelled from Congress. “I have done the math over and over, and it doesn’t look really good,” he said during an audio broadcast on X.
