Santos expelled in dramatic vote: Live coverage

The House on Friday expelled Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) in a dramatic and historic vote.

The embattled lawmaker had already survived two expulsion attempts, but an Ethics Committee report released last month prompted more lawmakers to say they were ready to oust Santos from the House.

He is just the sixth lawmaker booted from the chamber in its history.

The House Ethics report said there was clear evidence Santos committed serious crimes and said he “blatantly stole from his campaign” and “deceived donors into providing what they thought were contributions to his campaign but were in fact payments for his personal benefit.”

Santos faces 23 federal counts related to campaign finance, wire fraud and other allegations, to which he has pleaded not guilty.
