Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) shared on Monday that he has been in contact with Rep. George Santos (R-NY) ahead of a possible expulsion vote following a scathing House Ethics Committee report.

Speaking to reporters during a trip to Sarasota, Florida, Johnson noted that he had “spoken to Congressman Santos at some length over the holiday and talked to him about his options.”

On the prospect of an expulsion vote this week, Johnson said “it remains to be seen,” adding that lawmakers will be discussing the matter when they return from the Thanksgiving recess on Tuesday.

Voters elected Santos to his first term representing a Long Island district in the November elections, helping Republicans win a narrow majority in the House. But controversy soon followed related to the congressman’s candor and finances, spurring multiple inquiries and growing pressure for him to leave office.
