George Santos"},"content":{"rendered":"

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.).<\/p>\n

Santos has acknowledged several fabrications and outright lies about his background and has been under fire for his campaign and personal finances.<\/p>\n

The committee will investigate if Santos \u201cengaged 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

Santos’ office said they will be cooperating with the probe.<\/p>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n
