WASHINGTON, DC - NOVEMBER 30: Rep. George Santos (R-NY) talks to reporters outside the U.S. Capitol on November 30, 2023 in Washington, DC. Charged by the U.S. Department of Justice with 23 felonies including fraud and campaign finance violations, Santos is facing expulsion from the House of Representatives after the Ethics Committee reported that it found "substantial evidence" that he had violated the law.

The House voted to expel disgraced Rep. George Santos on Friday, who became only the sixth member in history to be removed from the chamber after the Ethics Committee released a scathing report this month that delivered the final blow to his troubled stint in Congress.
In a 311-114 vote, 105 Republicans sided with nearly all Democrats to remove Santos, who faces a 23-count federal indictment and became widely known earlier this year for fabricating elements of his resume.
