Under clause 5d of rule 20 the chair announces to the house that in light of
00:04
the expulsion of the gentleman from New York Mr. Santos the whole number of the
00:08
house is now 434. By a vote of 311 to 114 US House Speaker Mike Johnson said
00:16
Friday that his chamber had voted to expel indicted New York Representative
00:20
George Santos over criminal corruption charges and accusations of misspending
00:25
campaign money. The vote to remove the freshman lawmaker exceeded the required
00:30
two-thirds majority. Santos who became only the sixth member to be expelled had
00:35
little to say to reporters afterward.
00:39
Unofficially already no longer a member of Congress.
00:44
He added to hell with this place according to media reports. Santos has
00:50
been mired in controversy since his November 2022 election. He has admitted
00:55
to fabricating much of his biography and federal prosecutors accuse him of
00:59
laundering campaign funds and defrauding donors. Santos has pleaded not guilty to
01:04
those charges. He survived a previous expulsion attempt in early November when
01:09
hundreds of representatives voted against his removal on the grounds that
01:13
his criminal case should be resolved first. A bipartisan congressional
01:18
investigation last month found that he charged almost $4,000 for spa
01:23
treatments including Botox to his congressional campaign account. He also
01:27
spent more than $4,000 of campaign money at the luxury retail store Hermes and
01:33
made smaller purchases from OnlyFans, an online platform known for sexual content.
01:39
That prompted several Republicans who backed him in November's vote to say
01:43
they would support kicking him out. Fellow New York Republican Representative
01:47
Mark Molinaro on Thursday explained why he would vote to remove Santos. He has
01:53
manufactured his entire life to defraud the voters of his district and honest
01:58
choice for a member of Congress. He has lied to donors and to colleagues taking
02:05
advantage of election law using campaign funds to personally benefit
02:10
himself and he has defamed not only his office but the institution itself. Santos
02:17
his expulsion reduces Republicans already slim majority to eight seats.
02:21
His district, which includes parts of New York City and Long Island, is seen
02:26
as competitive. Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul has to call a
02:30
special election to fill the seat.
02:32
Good job.
