A Republican colleague of New York Representative George Santos has introduced a resolution to expel him from the House of Representatives, an audacious action. A two-thirds majority is necessary to approve the resolution; therefore, it must be deliberated upon within two legislative days. This comes shortly after Santos conceded to Long Island voters that he had lied about his business background and education shortly after his election in November. Santos was sworn in amid a deluge of unfavorable press coverage.
The situation was further complicated when, earlier this year, the Justice Department indicted Santos on charges including wire fraud, record falsification, and other offenses. A not guilty plea has been entered in response to the allegations. New York-based Republican Representative Anthony D'Esposito introduced the resolution to remove Santos from office. D'Esposito expeditiously presented a comprehensive indictment and allegations against his colleague on the floor of the House. During his campaign for the House of Representatives, he levied a severe financial fraud charge against Santos, alleging that the candidate misappropriated tens of thousands of dollars from campaign contributors. In addition to allegations of election fraud, D'Esposito argued that Santos is incompetent to represent his constituents as a United States representative.
The prerequisite two-thirds of the House to support D'Esposito's resolution to expel Santos is yet to be determined. The Justice Department alleged in a recent indictment that Santos conceived and implemented a fraudulent scheme with the intention of pilfering the financial and confidential information of his campaign contributors. Additionally, the DOJ asserted that Santos unauthorizedly charged the credit cards of contributors on multiple occasions and deposited substantial amounts of money into his personal bank account. Santos responded to the situation by brazenly announcing on social media that he would not tender his resignation and insisted that he was entitled to due process.
