Embattled Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., was expelled from Congress Friday after a scathing House Ethics Committee report found substantial evidence Santos misused campaign funds for his own personal benefit and committed federal crimes.

Despite the early momentum for his expulsion, Santos' removal was put into question the morning of the vote as lawmakers demurred over whether they were certain the support was there to oust Santos. All of top House GOP leadership as well, including House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced they would vote against his expulsion.
