WASHINGTON (TND) — The House Ethics Committee has opened a probe into GOP Rep. George Santos, according to a report from CNN.
Santos has dominated headlines recently after making several false claims about his background. During an interview with OAN, Santos admitted he lied about his education because he feared being "looked down on" by others for not having a diploma. He also claimed he's never been dishonest about his own personal finances.
The embattled Republican lawmaker from New York has repeatedly said that he will not step down from his position, despite calls from both political parties for him to do so.
Santos told GOP colleagues last week that he will be temporarily stepping down from his two congressional committees, a move he made after meeting with Speaker Kevin McCarthy, who called the move an "appropriate decision."
He first ran for Congress in 2020 and lost to Tom Suozzi, a Democrat. He then ran again in 2022, facing Democrat Robert Zimmerman in a district that includes some Long Island suburbs and a small slice of Queens.
