A group of New York Republicans moved Wednesday to expel George Santos from the US House, marking a potential turning point in the saga of the freshman congressman whose alleged fraud and fabrications led to criminal charges and national notoriety.
Santos said he didn’t know whether he would survive an expulsion vote.
“Nobody knows the answer to that,” he said.
The expulsion resolution follows a new federal indictment in New York that charged Santos with 10 new counts of credit card fraud and falsification related to his 2022 campaign fundraising. Among the new charges are allegations that Santos used straw donors to inflate his fundraising totals in order to defraud the Republican Party of matching funds to competitive House races.
