TL;DR Summary

A group of New York state Republicans in the US House of Representatives plan to introduce a motion to expel indicted Republican Representative George Santos, who is facing 23 fresh criminal counts including false statements, aggravated identity theft, and credit card fraud. Santos has been accused of inflating his campaign's fundraising numbers and charging campaign contributors' credit cards without their consent. The motion would require support from two-thirds of the House, but it is unclear when it will be voted on as Republicans are currently focused on electing a new nominee for speaker.
