This is the best summary I could come up with:


Among the many allegations in its final report, the panel accused him of spending campaign money on Botox treatments, OnlyFans purchases and vacations in the Hamptons.

He is currently facing 23 federal felony charges, including wire fraud, money laundering and theft of public funds, as well as separate allegations of campaign finance violations.

The Democratic measure is an "insurance policy" intended to force a vote if Republicans do not bring up their own resolution this week, its co-author Robert Garcia told Axios.

Several members, who previously voted down expulsion until the House ethics panel completed its work, told US media they are reversing their positions and now support Mr Santos' removal.

He added that he would introduce his own expulsion motion against Jamaal Bowman, a Democratic colleague accused of pulling a fire alarm to sabotage a vote.

Mr Bowman, who paid a $1,000 fine over the incident, shot back with a statement railing against "another meaningless stunt in his long history of cons, antics, and outright fraud".
