GOP blocks Dem's push to expel Santos from Congress amid ethics probe.

House Republicans blocked a Democratic resolution to expel GOP Rep. George Santos from Congress, instead voting to refer the matter to a committee while several investigations into his conduct continue. Santos faces 13 federal charges of fraud, money laundering and other crimes, with prosecutors alleging he pocketed thousands of dollars of campaign contributions and fraudulently collected unemployment benefits. The New York Republican, who lied about numerous aspects of his background in his pursuit of his congressional seat, pleaded not guilty and recently announced he will run for reelection next year.
