Ethics Committee Chair Files Motion To Expel Santos

Roll Call reports:

The House Ethics Committee found substantial evidence that Rep. George Santos committed additional violations of criminal law, including misreporting loans from the 2020 campaign and other reporting violations, according to a report released Thursday.

Ethics Chairman Michael Guest said after the committee’s report was released that he would file a motion on Friday to expel Santos, R-N.Y., from the House. The panel referred the new violations material to the Justice Department.
