"Rep. George Santos Faces Imminent Expulsion as Vote Looms"

TL;DR Summary
Rep. George Santos, a Republican from New York, is facing a second expulsion vote in Congress this month after admitting to lying about his background and pleading not guilty to multiple federal charges. Following the release of a damning Ethics Committee report, many lawmakers who previously voted against expulsion now say they will support it. A supermajority vote is required to expel a member from Congress, and a resolution to expel Santos has been introduced by a House Democrat. Santos predicts he will be removed from office this time around, while his team argues that his ouster could undermine the GOP's majority and risk a government shutdown.
