Republican George Santos faces expulsion vote in US House

The US House of Representatives will vote on whether to expel Republican Congressman George Santos, who has been indicted on corruption charges. Santos pleaded not guilty to charges including laundering funds, illegally receiving unemployment benefits, and charging donors’ credit cards without consent. Expelling Santos would further jeopardize Republicans’ narrow majority in the House, as a replacement would be chosen in a special election. The trial for Santos is scheduled for September 2024.
