George Santos, New York GOP House member, faces expulsion and legal troubles

Five freshman House Republicans from New York have sponsored a resolution to expel Rep. George Santos, who is facing new fraud charges. The move is an attempt to preempt Democratic attacks in the upcoming elections and protect their vulnerable seats. However, the resolution is unlikely to pass the full House. Santos, who represents Long Island and part of Queens, has pleaded not guilty to the charges and dismissed attempts to oust him. The resolution cannot be taken up quickly due to the absence of a House speaker, and it would require a two-thirds majority to pass.
