"House Votes to Expel Rep. George Santos, Setting a Precedent for Consequences"

The House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to expel indicted Rep. George Santos, who had been charged with crimes including wire fraud and money laundering. Santos had previously survived two attempts to expel him but lost significant support after a scathing House ethics investigation revealed that he had fabricated parts of his resume and misused campaign funds for personal expenses. The final vote was 311-114, with Santos leaving the chamber before the announcement. He becomes the sixth person in U.S. history to be expelled from the House and the first Republican without a conviction or treason charge. A special election will be held to fill his seat.
