NPR: The freshman New York Republican is facing nearly two dozen federal charges related to financial misdeeds, many of which have been corroborated in a report compiled by House lawmakers. Members of the House of Representatives voted 311 to 114 Friday morning to expel New York Republican George Santos from Congress. Santos is the sixth congressman ever to be expelled from Congress. The embattled congressman is accused by prosecutors of a number of financial misdeeds, including reimbursing himself for loans to his congressional campaign that he appears to have never actually made — in essence, stealing money from campaign donors. More than 100 Republicans voted with Democrats to expel Santos, even after House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and most members of House GOP leadership said they would be voting against the measure.
