United States Congressman-elect George Santos, who admitted to lying about his work experience and college education during a successful campaign for a seat in the House of Representatives, will be removed from Congress if he is found to have violated campaign finance laws.
As reported by Reuters, this was said by his fellow Republican and chairman of the Oversight Committee of the House of Representatives, James Comer.
"He's a bad guy," Comer said on CNN's "State of the Union."
He added that it is not up to him or any other member of Congress to decide whether he can be expelled for lying.
"And if he violated campaign finance laws then he will be removed from Congress," Comer repeated.
In the campaign, this Queens resident said, among other things, that he graduated from Baruch College in New York, but that school stated that they could not confirm such information.

"I didn't graduate from any higher education institution. I'm embarrassed and sorry that I embellished my resume," Santos later admitted to the New York Post.
"I admit it. (…) We do stupid things in life," he added.
