Washington — A group of House Democrats on Thursday filed a resolution seeking to expel embattled New York's Republican Rep. George Santos from Congress, as new details emerge about federal scrutiny into his work for a company accused of running a Ponzi scheme.
The resolution is mostly symbolic and unlikely to reach the floor for a vote, as House GOP leadership has so far declined to call on Santos to resign.
"He should not be a member of Congress, and we are left with no choice but to put a resolution on the House floor to expel him from Congress.
Goldman added that Santos is "not just a simple liar," but a "conman who does not belong in Congress.".
Santos told colleagues late last month that he wouldn't serve on committees while investigations into his activities are ongoing. »
