Corrected 2:23 p.m. | A group of first-term New York Republicans said Wednesday they will push to expel fellow New York Rep. George Santos from Congress, adding a new wrinkle to the ongoing chaos surrounding the chamber’s leadership.
Rep. Anthony D’Esposito, R-N.Y., told reporters that the group plans to introduce a privileged resolution to oust Santos from the House, a measure that would require a two-thirds majority.
A superseding indictment unveiled Tuesday charged Santos with another 10 criminal counts tied to the 2022 election, adding to an original 13-count indictment filed in May. The new charges allege Santos filed fraudulent fundraising reports and repeatedly charged donor credit cards without permission.
