Democrat starts official clock for Santos expulsion vote

A fierce Democratic critic of Rep. George Santos has officially triggered another push to expel him — the most serious threat against the indicted lawmaker to date.

The privileged motion introduced by Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) means the House must vote on expulsion within two legislative days. That’s almost exactly two weeks after the release of a damning bipartisan House Ethics Committee report that found “sufficient evidence” of Santos’ criminal wrongdoing.
