The House Ethics Committee found substantial evidence that Rep. George Santos committed additional violations of criminal law, including misreporting loans from the 2020 campaign and other reporting violations, according to a report released Thursday.
Ethics Chairman Michael Guest said after the committee’s report was released that he would file a motion on Friday to expel Santos, R-N.Y., from the House. The panel referred the new violations material to the Justice Department.
Santos called the findings a “disgusting politicized smear” in a posting on X, formerly Twitter, but said he wouldn’t seek reelection in 2024. He faces 23 federal criminal charges.
