House Democrat introduces resolution to expel lying Rep. George Santos.

Democratic Representative Robert Garcia has initiated the process of forcing a vote on a motion to expel Republican George Santos, the congressman from New York facing federal charges of fraud, money laundering, and theft of public funds. The vote will put many Republicans in a difficult position of defending a colleague with a history of lying about his work experience and biography. Santos has made extensive false claims about his past, including saying he earned degrees from New York University and Baruch College despite neither institution having any record of his attending.

Resolution to Expel Indicted Rep. George Santos Introduced by Democrat

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia introduced a resolution on the House floor to expel GOP Rep. George Santos, who was indicted on 13 criminal counts, including wire fraud, money laundering, and theft of public funds. The resolution would need a two-thirds majority to pass, but House Republicans are likely to table it. At least 12 House Republicans have called for Santos to resign or be expelled from Congress. Garcia's resolution is about putting Republicans on the record, and he hopes to speed up the timeline on a vote. Santos has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
