Congress Confronts Its Santos Problem

Congressman George Santos (R-NY) faces a 23-count federal indictment for identity theft of his campaign donors and covertly stealing their money. The House Ethics Committee issued a report saying they found "overwhelming evidence" of Santos breaking the law and that "he can't be trusted." Congress plans to vote to expel Santos from the House on Friday. FOX News Sunday Anchor Shannon Bream joins the Rundown to discuss why GOP lawmakers fear they will lose the majority if Santos is ousted, how Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-LA) spending bill became just a "band-aid," and why nearly three dozen lawmakers are leaving Congress.
