A defiant Rep. George Santos warned on Thursday that his expulsion from Congress before being convicted in a court of law would establish a new precedent that is going to be the undoing of a lot of members of this body.
This will haunt them in the future where mere allegations are sufficient to have members removed from office when duly elected by their people in their respective states and districts, Santos said.
The House Ethics Committee, in its scathing report, said it had amassed overwhelming evidence of lawbreaking by Santos that had been sent to the Justice Department, concluding flatly that he cannot be trusted after a monthslong investigation into his conduct.
