A scathing Ethics committee report on Santos was released today. The committee found even more evidence of fraud and has referred that to the DOJ for additional criminal charges. He is accused of using the donor's credit card information to pay for things such as his Botox and porn. He also used "campaign" money to pay for personal expenses.
The Chair of the committee is expected to file expulsion charges against him in the next couple of days. Expulsion requires a 2/3 vote of the House and has only been successful 5 times.
With the vote margin so slim Republicans have been reluctant to expel Santos. Others, such as Democrat Jamie Rankin have been reluctant because he has only been accused of crimes and not convicted but many have also said they would reconsider based on the Ethic Committee report. So we will wee what happen. Santos has announced he will no longer seek reelection
