TL;DR Summary

Rep. Matt Gaetz argues that expelling Rep. George Santos before a court conviction would cause "grave damage" to the House of Representatives, as it would shatter a precedent. Gaetz, along with two other Republicans, spoke out against the expulsion push, stating that it violates due process. The House will hold a vote on Santos's expulsion, despite a damning report from the Ethics Committee detailing "substantial evidence" of serious crimes. Santos faces 23 federal criminal charges, which he denies.
