Santos facing new criminal charges, an resolution to expel him from Congress
U.S. Rep. George Santos this week said he could prove his innocence after federal prosecutors added 23 counts to criminal charges he was already facing.
Santos also dismissed efforts to expel him from Congress, declaring, “I pity the fools” that try to get him tossed from the House.
Gay Republican George Santos, who allegedly lied his way into a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the November 2022 elections, this week found himself facing even more criminal charges and an effort by some of his GOP colleagues in the House to have him expelled from Congress, according to reports by Politico and other sources, including ABC News.
Santos, who represents New York’s 3rd District had already been indicted in May on 13 criminal counts — seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives and one count of theft of public funds.
