Republican leaders will remove Rep. George Santos (R-NY) from Congress if the freshman lawmaker is found guilty of violating campaign finance laws, according to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY).

Santos faces a slew of investigations into his finances after a number of unusual expenses were discovered on his campaign filings for the midterm cycle, prompting some Democrats to file a complaint to the House Ethics Committee. However, the freshman lawmaker has maintained that he has not committed any wrongdoing."He's a bad guy," Comer told CNN on Sunday."It's not up to me or any other member of Congress to determine whether he can be kicked out for lying.

However, one neighbor said Santos himself was living at the home during that time period, with two others telling the outlet they had seen the congressman and his significant other frequently coming and going from the residence. If found to be true, Santos could be guilty of violating finance rules that prohibit candidates from using campaign funds for personal expenses.

Several Democrats, and even a handful of Republicans, have denounced Santos for this conduct, as well as for admitting to fabricating several details about his professional background while running for office. A group of New York Republicans urged Santos to step down during a press conference last week, joining their Democratic counterparts who have hurled criticisms at the freshman lawmaker since last month.

David Schweikert wasn’t removed

New York is the state that made Trump paying a mistress a 'campaign finance violation'😳 Everyone can be a criminal w enough laws & a Dem seat at stake.

Then Maxine Walter's and many more should be removed as well.

Absolutely! Put him on a committee with some of the lying Democrats! They deserve one another!

It really is hard to believe that getting rid of Santos is so complicated.

Comer has no problem with lying about: Graduating from Baruch College Having Jewish grandparents Losing employees in the Pulse nightclub shooting Running an animal charity Working at Citigroup Owning rental property Robbed of his rent money His athletic accomplishments

Why, it happens all the time. TRUMP AND OBAMA BOTH DID IT. Neither got removed, they paid the pathetic fine.

Biden? Warren? liars?

I'm pretty sure the esteemed Senator Warren has 'exaggerated' a smidge on her forms and applications. Why no uproar?
