'UNLAWFUL' — House Lawmaker Could Be Expelled After Shocking Discovery

Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and we have

massive breaking news coming out of Washington DC that could see the end of

the tenure of one Republican lawmaker. In fact it will. Before we get started

please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe. Those little things really

help us out and they help our channel continue to grow. On Thursday the

long-awaited ethics report of one New York Representative George Santos, who we

know is a serial liar at this point, was released and the ethics complaint does

not necessarily recommend that they expel him from Congress, something that's only been done six times previously in the history of the United States, but it

does recommend that the Justice Department investigate him for some serious, serious crimes including using campaign funds for his own personal

benefit. Let's take a look. Happened just a bit ago we begin with breaking news

this hour. The House Ethics Committee releasing their long-awaited report on Republican Congressman George Santos. In it they say Santos quote sought to

fraudulently exploit every aspect of his House candidacy for his own personal

financial profits. The committee also says they're referring quote substantial evidence that they found during their investigation to the DOJ. CNN's Manu

Raju is joining us from Capitol Hill. You're getting this hot off the presses. You're also learning that the chairman plans to move forward with expulsion

What can you tell us? Yeah that's right. In fact we just have a response from

Congressman Santos who just posted on social media quote if there was a single

ounce of ethics in the Ethics Committee they would have not released his biased

report. He says the committee went to extraordinary lengths to smear myself

and my legal team about me not being forthcoming. My legal bills suggest

otherwise and he that is part of his first response we're seeing from George

Santos in response to this report. The report also says that he did not

cooperate fully with this investigation. In fact he did not sit down for a

voluntary interview. They declined to subpoena him as well and they they made

clear that the evidence that they found goes beyond the 23 counts

indictments that he is facing in federal court over his alleged unlawful activity

that goes around campaign finance fraud for fraud dealing with jobless benefits

and the like and including making false statements with the house all of which he's pleaded not guilty to but now he is facing a real threat to his political

career. The House Ethics Committee chairman Michael Guest is moving to expel George Santos from the house. The Republican chairman Michael Guest plans

to offer a resolution as soon as tomorrow to start the process force a

vote which will require two-thirds of the house to make George Santos just the

sixth member of American in American history to be kicked out of this house

seat. We'll see if they'll get the votes to do that. Now Santos has for

some time been defiant about all the lies that have been he has admitted to

in his life as well as these charges that he has faced in federal court

denying them time and time again just recently in the last several days I had

a chance to sit down with Santos talking to him about all these issues and he

indicated that some mistakes were made even though is even as he denied all of

the charges. Now while it didn't recommend he be expelled from Congress

the head of the Ethics Committee has taken that step to start that process. In

the meantime George Santos himself has said on X formerly known as Twitter that

he will not seek reelection. The walls are falling down around him right now

it's very likely in my opinion that not only will he not be reelected not only

will he no longer be a congressman he's going to prison and as much as I want to

protect every Republican this guy's not a good look for us not a good look for

our party he's a he's a guy who has lied and possibly stolen and I say possibly

in the in the most legal sense of the word because he's not convicted yet so

possibly stolen but the evidence is overwhelming it's not somebody we want

for our party but I want to know what you guys think about this let me know in the comments also please remember to Like share and subscribe it really helps

us out I'm Carmine Sabia this is Explain America we love you guys

God bless you take care everybody
