House Republicans Introduce Resolution To Expel George Santos

Six New York House Republicans signaled their intent to pursue the expulsion of disgraced Republican Congressman George Santos from the House after he was hit with a 23-count superseding indictment on Tuesday.

This move marks the first effort led by House Republicans to expel Santos, who earlier was stripped of committee assignments by the party.

New York Republican Anthony D’Esposito said in a statement on Twitter, that he intends to introduce the resolution of expulsion against Santos on Wednesday as the party works to determine who will occupy the vacant speakership.

Today, I’ll be introducing an expulsion resolution to rid the People’s House of fraudster, George Santos. The resolution will be co-sponsored by fellow #NewYork freshman @RepLaLota @RepMikeLawler @RepMolinaroNY19 @RepLangworthy @RepWilliams.

Our statement will follow. 🇺🇸
