How George Santos spent his last 24 hours in Congress
The New York Republican continued to publicly defend himself up until just hours before the vote.
George Santos became the sixth person to be expelled from the House on Friday after the New York Republican’s fellow lawmakers successfully voted him out.
The first-term congressmember had been embroiled in controversy before he even set foot in the U.S. Capitol. Last month, the House Ethics Committee released a report stating they’d found “substantial evidence” supporting federal prosecutors’ charges against him, which include allegations of identity theft, making charges on donors’ credit cards without their authorization and submitting false campaign reports.
