"Republican Lawmaker George Santos Faces Expulsion Vote as GOP Seeks to Retain Seat"

TL;DR Summary
Two Democratic lawmakers in the US House have initiated a move to force a vote to expel Republican Representative George Santos, who has been charged with corruption since his election in 2022. The motion requires a two-thirds majority in the House, which is currently controlled by Republicans. This comes after a scathing report by the Republican-majority Ethics Committee, which called into question the integrity of Santos' election and recommended his expulsion. Santos has previously pleaded not guilty to federal charges of campaign finance violations. If expelled, Santos would be the sixth lawmaker to be ousted by a vote of the House.
