investigation, authorized 37 subpoenas and 43 voluntary

over 172,000 pages of documents, contacted or inter-
viewed over 40 witnesses, and reviewed materials received 
from the Office of Congressional Ethics and relevant 
court records; 
Whereas the ISC determined in its investigation that there 
was substantial evidence of violations of Federal law, the 
Rules of the House, and other applicable standards re-
lated to many of the allegations charged in the indict-
ment, and substantial evidence of additional unlawful and 
unethical conduct not charged in the indictment; 
Whereas these additional violations relate to falsely reported 
loans reportedly received by his 2020 campaign and lead-
ership political action committee, GADS PAC, improper 
loan repayments to himself, systemic reporting errors in

sion filings, and substantial evidence that campaign 
funds were converted to personal use;

sions in his 2020 and 2022 Financial Disclosure State-

its findings and submitted the report to the full com-
mittee; 
Whereas the Committee on Ethics of the House unanimously 
voted to adopt the ISC report based upon the investiga-
tion providing substantial evidence that Representative 
Santos— 
(1) knowingly caused his campaign committee to file 
false or incomplete reports with the Federal Election 
Commission, used campaign funds for personal purposes,

Stone Strategies LLC, and engaged in knowing and will-
ful violations of the Ethics in Government Act as it re-
lates to his Financial Disclosure Statements filed with

countable to the highest standards of conduct in order to 
safeguard the public’s faith in this institution; 
Whereas the Constitution of the United States charges the 
House with policing the behavior of its own Members, 
and the House should take action against Representative 
Santos commensurate with his violations of Federal law 
and the Rules of the House; and 
Whereas given his egregious violations, Representative George 
Santos is not fit to serve as a Member of the United 
States House of Representatives: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That pursuant to article I, section 5, clause 
2 of the Constitution of the United States, Representative 
George Santos, be, and he hereby is, expelled from the 
United States House of Representatives.
