TL;DR Summary

The US House of Representatives is set to vote on whether to expel Republican George Santos, who is facing criminal corruption charges and allegations of misspending campaign money. Santos, who fabricated aspects of his life story during his election campaign, has been targeted by motions introduced by several lawmakers. The vote requires a two-thirds majority in the Republican-controlled House. The bipartisan Ethics Committee released a report documenting campaign finance fraud and poor bookkeeping by Santos, which has raised concerns about the integrity of the House. Santos has previously pleaded not guilty to federal charges and has refused to step down before his criminal case is resolved.
