George Santos faces expulsion vote in House as New York Republicans renew calls for ouster
CBSN
Washington — Embattled GOP Rep. George Santos' future in Congress could be determined Wednesday night when the House is set to vote on a resolution that would expel him from Congress, an effort led by his fellow New York Republicans.
Five GOP lawmakers from the Empire State urged their Republican colleagues to vote in favor of their resolution expelling Santos in a letter circulated on Wednesday, calling it a "moral" issue.
The letter, signed by first-term Reps. Nick LaLota, Anthony D'Esposito, Marcus Molinaro, Brandon Williams and Mike Lawler, addressed concerns about expelling Santos before he's been criminally convicted, as well as fears that doing so would narrow Republicans' already slim majority in the House. All five Republicans face competitive races next year.
