George Santos, R-N.Y., pictured here in January, is scheduled to be back in court on Friday to face expanded felony charges. Fellow New York Republicans introduced resolution on Thursday to try to oust him from Congress.
According to prosecutors, Santos illegally charged $12,000 to the credit card of a campaign contributor, without that person's knowledge or authorization, and then transferred"the vast majority of that money into his personal bank account."On Oct. 5, Santos' former treasurer, Nancy Marks, pleaded guilty to federal charges linked to her work for his campaign. It remains unclear whether she agreed to help the prosecution as part of her plea agreement.
It's unclear now whether fractious Republicans actually will vote to remove a member of their razor-thin majority. Meanwhile, in a statement on social media, Santos promised"#PolitcalWarfare" against New York Republicans who want him ejected.
