TL;DR Summary

The House of Representatives is set to vote on whether to expel indicted Rep. George Santos, a Republican from New York, as early as Wednesday afternoon. Momentum is growing among lawmakers from both parties to remove Santos, who has faced federal charges and a scathing report from the House Ethics Committee accusing him of breaking federal laws and misusing campaign funds for personal benefit. Santos has admitted to lying about his background but maintains his innocence regarding the charges. The expulsion vote requires a two-thirds majority to pass, and if successful, Santos would be the first member in recent years to be removed from Congress without being convicted of a crime.
