WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 18th May, 2023) The US House of Representatives referred legislation to expel Congressman George Santos from the chamber to the House Ethics Committee, following a number of controversies and probes into his alleged misconduct.
House lawmakers on Wednesday voted to refer a resolution to expel Santos to the ethics panel in a vote of 221-204.
