The House voted to expel Republican Rep. George Santos on Friday, a historic move that hasn’t happened in more than 20 years.
It was the third attempt to expel the scandal-ridden congressman. He is just the sixth House member in history to be forcibly removed by his colleagues. House Republican leaders, though, rallied around Santos early Friday, stating they would vote against the resolution.
The expulsion vote came two weeks after a scathing House Ethics Committee report detailed what investigators said was Santos’ use of campaign funds for his benefit. Santos has repeatedly criticized the report as a political smear, though he’s yet to refute specific allegations.
