Rep. George Santos expelled from Congress in historic vote
The House on Friday voted to expel Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) over his many fabrications on the 2022 campaign trail and his two federal indictments.
Why it matters: The vote makes Santos just the sixth lawmaker – and first Republican – to be expelled from the House in U.S. history.
- The votes comes after the House Ethics Committee released a report accusing Santos of a "complex web of unlawful activity involving [his] campaign, personal, and business finances."
