WASHINGTON — US House Democratic lawmaker Robert Garcia on Tuesday introduced a motion that would force a vote to expel embattled Republican Representative George Santos, who has been engulfed in scandal since his 2022 election and charged with corruption.
The move — introducing what is known as a “privileged resolution” — requires a vote on the matter within two days.
Garcia’s maneuver is the most recent threat to Santos’ seat. Santos survived a vote to oust him on Nov. 1, but on Nov. 16, following a scathing report by the House Ethics Committee, its chairman, Michael Guest, filed his own motion to expel Santos. The House has not yet held a resolution on Guest’s motion. — Reuters
