Watch: Republican Congressman George Santos speaks out as he faces expulsion vote

Watch as George Santos holds a press conference on Thursday, 30 November, ahead of an expected vote to expel him from the House.

The embattled New York Republican said that he will not be resigning led during a live broadcast on X Spaces.

The House Ethics Committee argued that Mr Santos “knowingly” used his campaign committee to file false and incomplete reports to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), used campaign donations for personal expenses, violated the Ethics in Government Act, and that he committed fraud using a company he co-owned.

It also alleges that Mr Santos used campaign money to pay for Botox, luxury purchases at Hermes and Ferragamo, OnlyFans, food, parking, travel, and rent.

Ahead of the vote, Mr Santos said he had “done the math over and over and it doesn’t look really good” but would wear expulsion “like a badge of honour.”
