New York Rep. George Santos has been expelled from Congress.

The House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to remove the first-term
lawmaker from office. He is the sixth member of Congress in history to be expelled.

Santos has been facing intense criticism since he was first elected. He faced numerous
accusations that he lied about his resume and background during the campaign
and has been charged with multiple federal crimes.

Santos is currently facing 23 federal charges, including fraud related to COVID
unemployment benefits, misusing campaign funds, and providing false information
on his House disclosure reports. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Despite all the criticism and the federal charges, Santos has maintained his innocence
and refused to resign.

While two previous attempts to oust Santos failed, the final straw for many lawmakers
was a scathing report from the Ethics Committee. The report detailed "substantial
evidence" that Santos allegedly "violated federal criminal laws."

It concluded that Santos "sought to fraudulently exploit every aspect of his House
candidacy for his own personal financial profit" and "knowingly caused his campaign
committee to file false or incomplete reports with the Federal Election Commission."

After the report was released, Santos announced he would not seek reelection.

However, that did not stop lawmakers from filing another resolution to remove him
from office.

The final vote was 311-114.

Now that Santos has been expelled, New York Governor Kathy Hochul must declare
a special election within ten days. The election must take place within 70 to 80 days
of her announcement.

Nice,  hopefully that corrupt Democrat goes next.   If the evidence supports it.

Menendez. Biden isn't even close to "corrupt", atleast by politician standards.  After Menendez, hope trump and the nyc mayor are brought to justice.

Subpoenaed bank records show the Biden family received at least
20 million in unexplained wires from foreign Nationals.

The payments went to nine family members, including even two of
Joe Biden’s grandchildren.

However, this isn’t the whole story. Republicans predict the Bidens
actually received more than $50 million.

The White House has insisted that Joe Biden never received payments,
but it is still bribery to carry out political favors in exchange for payments
to family.

Moreover, Hunter’s own text messages and emails confirm that Joe
received half of Hunter’s multi-million dollar salary. Hunter also admitted
to paying all of Joe’s bills for roughly a decade.

There's a political standard for "corrupt"?
