Former U.S. Representative George Santos announced on Thursday he's seeking to return to the Lower House, only a few months after being expelled from it for violating campaign finance laws.
Santos did so during a surprise appearance at the 2024 State of the Union, something he can do as a former member of Congress, according to Axios. He would have been prevented from doing so if he was convicted of a crime, which is not the case at the moment. He does face 23 federal charges at the moment, including conspiracy, wire fraud and defrauding campaign donors.
