* Background is here if you need it. House Speaker Chris Welch…
“The allegations in this indictment are extremely serious. Every person under our system of justice is entitled to the presumption of innocence and due process. The U.S. Attorney will lay out evidence in court, where Representative Ammons will have the chance to defend herself against the allegations.
“In the interest of upholding the integrity of the House and ensuring we can continue our important work without distraction, I am taking the following actions immediately while this case is pending: I am temporarily removing Representative Ammons from any and all House Democratic Caucus meetings, from all House committees, and from accessing Speaker’s Office staff and resources. Additionally, I directed my staff to review the budget to determine whether any funds need to be paused or reconsidered.”

Apparently, calls for resignation and threats of expulsion only apply if the Speaker is in receipt of secret information

How many members have been kicked out of the House Democratic caucus or House Republican caucus over the past few cycles? It’s almost comical how many people the leaders have expelled from their ranks.
