Accused of abuse of campaign funds, Jorge Santos is expelled from the House of Representatives
Republican George Santos has been expelled from Congress. The vote to expel Santos, the second since his election last year, required a two-thirds majority of those present.
Santos becomes the sixth member expelled from the House of Representatives. The first three fought for the Confederacy in the Civil War. The other two were expelled after being convicted of crimes.
Santos has pleaded not guilty to 23 federal fraud charges but has not been tried. An earlier ouster effort, mounted by members of his own party, failed in part because senior Democrats voted against it, citing the dangers of expelling members without proven convictions.
Santos, 35, has been embroiled in controversy since the November 2022 election. He has admitted to fabricating parts of his biography and federal prosecutors accuse him of laundering campaign funds and defrauding donors.
