The House of Representatives voted not to expel scandal-plagued GOP Rep. George Santos on Wednesday night.
Santos spoke in his own defense earlier on the House floor, accusing the Republicans who moved against him of playing "judge, jury and executioner."

"Efforts taken by other members in this body to act as jury and executioner are unconscionable and reckless to our Republican system of government and to the integrity of this body," Santos said. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
"I stand today to continue to prove my innocence of these allegations and charges leveled against me. I'd like to say I understand the point of view of my colleagues, but I don't. One can't say that they are pro constitution and at the same time act as judge, jury and executioner. Where is the consistency?"
