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.

"NY Republican Calls for Expulsion of Bowman for Fire Alarm Incident"

Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis has introduced a resolution to expel Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman for pulling a fire alarm before a House vote on funding the government. Malliotakis claims that Bowman's actions violated federal and local law and that he must be held accountable. Bowman maintains that pulling the fire alarm was an accident as he rushed to vote on the last-minute measure. The incident is currently under investigation by the U.S. Capitol Police.

Congressman Santos faces expulsion resolution as Zak Malamed raises $225k in first day of campaign.

The House of Representatives is voting on a motion to send Rep. George Santos' expulsion resolution to the House Ethics Committee. The committee has been conducting its own investigation into Santos, who was indicted last week on 13 criminal counts, including wire fraud and money laundering. The accusations against Santos include engaging in unlawful activity with respect to his 2022 congressional campaign, failing to properly disclose required information, violating federal conflict of interest laws, and engaging in sexual misconduct. House Democratic leaders have instructed their members to vote no on referring the resolution to the House Ethics Committee.

GOP's George Santos faces ethics probe and possible expulsion from Congress.

House Republicans plan to refer a Democratic-sponsored resolution to expel Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., to the Ethics Committee, which has been investigating Santos since early March. The move is an attempt to bypass a vote on the bill itself. Last week, Santos was charged with a 13-count indictment by the Department of Justice. Santos has called the charges against him a “witch hunt“ and said that he won’t resign.
