The Republican chairman of the House Ethics Committee has filed a resolution to expel GOP Rep. George Santos from Congress, after the committee released a blistering report accusing Santos of extensive wrongdoing.
The House Ethics Committee left the question of Santos' fate in Congress to lawmakers, but the chairman, Rep. Michael Guest of Mississippi, said the evidence revealed by the committee is "more than sufficient" to warrant the "most appropriate" punishment of expulsion and filed the resolution in his capacity as a member of the House.
"Whereas given his egregious violations, Representative George Santos is not fit to serve as a member of the United States House of Representatives: Now, therefore, be it resolved, that pursuant to article I, section 5, clause 2 of the Constitution of the United States, Representative George Santos be, and he hereby is, expelled from the United States House of Representatives," the resolution reads.
