WASHINGTON (AP) – The House Ethics Committee announced Thursday that it has opened an investigation into New York Republican Rep. George Santos, a first-time Republican who fabricated key parts of his resume while running for office.
The committee voted earlier this week to launch an investigation, saying it would look into whether Santos “may have engaged in illegal activity in connection with his 2022 congressional campaign.”
The panel said it would also review whether Santos was truthful on financial disclosure forms, whether he may have violated conflict of interest laws and allegations of sexual misconduct from a person seeking a job in his office.
