House Committee planning to expel George Santos from Congress Rep. George Santos is at risk of being expelled from the House of Representatives next week. The House Ethics Committee has released a report detailing damning revelations about Santos’ conduct, including prior lies about his background, and incidents during his time in Congress that have culminated in a 23-count indictment facing federal court.
Here are some of the bizarre and controversial things George Santos did after taking office as a lawmaker.
1. His staff considered surreptitiously recording conversations with reporters after leaving treat for them outside his office.
2. Introduced a bill against vaccine mandates named after the rapper Nicki Minaj. The bill would have prohibited the US government from enforcing any vaccine mandates.

4. Lied about a congratulatory exchange with Senator Kyrsten Sinema as a means of impressing the public and garnering support.
5. Showed up to Donald Trump’s arraignment in Manhattan, attracting a media frenzy and sparking further attention.
6. Refused to support Steve Scalise as Speaker of the House because he claimed to have had no contact or outreach from him.

8. Made fun of a fellow House Republican for his son’s struggles with drug addiction after narrowly escaping expulsion from the House.
