Santos probe is on: Kev

The House Ethics Committee is looking into lying Long Island Republican Rep. George Santos, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy confirmed on Tuesday.

“Ethics is moving through, and if Ethics finds something, we’ll take action,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) told CNN. “Right now, we’re not allowing him to be on committees from the standpoint of the questions that have arisen.”

Later, McCarthy said that he has “new questions” about the freshman lawmaker, but declined to elaborate. The speaker has previously stood by Santos, saying the voters elected him on Nov. 8.

McCarthy said last month that “if anything is found to have been wrong, he will be held accountable exactly as anybody else in this body would be.”

Santos, 34, has been hit with at least two ethics complaints over his admitted fabrications about his background, education, religion, and charitable work — while federal investigators are reportedly examining whether he violated campaign finance law.

Santos, who has vowed to stay in office, told CNN he is “not concerned” about the ethics probe.
