Rep. George Santos, a New York Republican, has been under fire before taking office in Congress for lying about his past.
The House ethics committee appointed a subcommittee to investigate embattled Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., for a range of potential ethical violations.
The panel also will examine whether Santos violated federal conflict of interest laws related to his work for a financial firm, and whether he "engaged in sexual misconduct towards an individual seeking employment in his congressional office," the release said. That subcommittee will probe whether Santos engaged in unlawful activity in his 2022 congressional campaign and "failed to properly disclose required information on statements filed with the House," a news release said.
Santos, a freshman House member, has been under fire since shortly before taking office in January as a result of a series of media reports that have revealed he lied about details of his professional, personal and educational background.
