"House Vote Fails to Expel Indicted GOP Rep. George Santos Amid 23 Federal Charges"

A vote to expel Republican lawmaker George Santos from the US House of Representatives failed, preserving Republicans' narrow majority. Santos is facing 23 federal charges, including money laundering and illegally receiving unemployment benefits. He represents a small portion of New York City and its suburbs. Santos would have been the sixth congressman to be expelled from the House in US history. A trial is scheduled for September 2024, and the House ethics committee is also investigating allegations against Santos. Additionally, a resolution to censure congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was defeated in a bipartisan vote.
