On Thursday, the panel announced that an investigative subcommittee had been formed by the House Ethics Committee to examine matters concerning Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.).
Santos has acknowledged several fabrications and outright lies about his background and has been under fire for his campaign and personal finances.
The committee will investigate if Santos “engaged in unlawful activity with respect to his 2022 congressional campaign; failed to properly disclose required information on statements filed with the House; violated federal conflict of interest laws in connection with his role in a firm providing fiduciary services; and/or engaged in sexual misconduct towards an individual seeking employment in his congressional office.”
Santos’ office said they will be cooperating with the probe.
The House Committee on Ethics has opened an investigation, and Congressman George Santos is fully cooperating. There will be no further comment made at this time.
