At least six House Republicans say they'll support the resolution to censure Rep. George Santos. That's enough GOP votes to have the measure adopted if all Dems support it.
A group of New York Republicans passed on punishing George Santos once. Some of them say they won’t do it again.
“I was the first to call for his resignation. I’ve said on the floor that he is a stain to our institution and I’d vote to censure,” D’Esposito said. In a rare public statement on an ongoing investigation, that committee’s leaders, Reps. Michael Guest and Susan Wild , said at the end of last month their investigation had already issued over 30 subpoenas and 40 voluntary information requests as the probe progressed. Ethics leaders were also working to make sure their probe didn’t conflict with the Department of Justice’s investigation into Santos.
Their vote — like the one in May — has special “privileged” powers and will come to the floor regardless of McCarthy’s wishes. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna used the same process last month to bring up a measure censuring Rep. Adam Schiff for his leading role in investigations into former President Donald Trump.
