For Rep. George Santos, the clock is ticking dangerously close to midnight.

The House is set to vote Friday on a resolution to expel the embattled New York Republican, marking the third and most serious attempt to boot Santos from Congress amid his mounting legal and ethical troubles. 

The US House of Representatives will vote within hours on whether to expel New York Republican George Santos after a damning ethics report, fraud charges and fabrications about his past.

The Republican-led body failed in two previous roll calls to oust Mr Santos.

But the embattled congressman has conceded it may well be third time lucky for his political enemies.

As colleagues debated his future on Thursday, he refused to resign and accused them of bullying him.

The House could vote as soon as Wednesday to censure Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), and expel Rep. George Santos (R-NY). It's now been a week since Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) was selected for the role, with much to be done in the House. As the House considers priorities such as funding Ukraine and Israel, as well as such resolutions, Fox News' Chad Pergram posted an update about the latter on Wednesday morning.

In the aftermath of Special Counsel John Durham proving Congressman Adam Schiff lied to the American people for years about so-called "Russian collusion," House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is demanding accountability and hinting the California Democrat could be on his way out. 

Late Tuesday evening, Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna submitted a resolution expelling Schiff from the House of Representatives.
