"Rep. George Santos Defiantly Clings to Congress Amidst Expulsion Threats"

Republican Rep. George Santos of New York is refusing to resign and warns that his expulsion from Congress without a court conviction would set a dangerous precedent. Santos, who is facing a 23-count federal indictment and a House Ethics Committee report detailing lawbreaking, argues that he is being treated differently from previous expelled members. The House is expected to vote on his expulsion on Friday. Santos claims that allegations alone should not be enough to remove elected officials from office and accuses his colleagues of bullying. He also plans to offer a resolution to expel Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge.
