The embattled lawmaker says he is innocent.
Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., casts his vote as the House of Representatives holds its second round of voting for a new speaker of the House at the U.S. Capitol on Oct. 18, 2023, in Washington, D.C., who maintains his innocence after being indicted on a slew of federal charges.
Rep. Anthony D'Esposito on Thursday formally filed the expulsion resolution as privileged -- which forced the House to move quickly on Santos' possible removal. D'Esposito was joined by Reps. Mike Lawler, Nick LaLota, Marc Molinaro and Brandon Williams. "We strongly urge you to vote in favor of this resolution and encourage you to contact any one of us should you have any doubts about expelling George Santos from this body," they wrote.
Santos hasn't been convicted but is charged with 23 counts as prosecutors allege he stole people's identities, made charges on his campaign donors' credit cards and lied to federal election officials.
