The Republican chairman of the House Ethics Committee on Friday filed a resolution to expel Rep. George Santos from Congress in the wake of a damning report alleging the scandal-plagued GOP freshman committed campaign fraud and theft.
Ethics Chairman Michael Guest, R-Miss., said that the evidence uncovered through the committee’s investigation of Santos “is more than sufficient to warrant punishment.”

“So, separate from the Committee process and my role as Chairman, I have filed an expulsion resolution,” he said.
