House Ethics Prepares for Santos Investigation Update and Possible Expulsion Vote

The House Ethics Committee will announce its "next course of action" in the investigation into Rep. George Santos by November 17, as a possible floor vote on his expulsion from Congress looms. Santos, who has pleaded not guilty to federal charges including identity theft and money laundering, has defied calls for his resignation. The announcement could be used as an excuse for Republicans to delay the vote, as they need a two-thirds majority to expel Santos and can only afford to lose four Republicans if all Democrats vote against him.
