House Ethics Committee Launches Investigation into Representative George Santos for Alleged Unlawful Activity, Financial Disclosure Violations, and Sexual Misconduct.

The House Ethics Committee has announced that it will launch an investigation into Representative George Santos. The investigation will focus on whether Santos has engaged in any unlawful activity related to his 2022 congressional campaign, failed to properly disclose required information on statements filed with the House, violated federal conflict of interest laws, and/or engaged in sexual misconduct towards an individual seeking employment in his congressional office.

The committee voted earlier this week to open the probe and will look into whether Santos was truthful on financial disclosure forms and whether he may have violated conflict-of-interest laws. The committee will also investigate allegations of sexual misconduct from a person who sought a job in his office.

The committee has not released any further details about the investigation, but said that it will be conducted in accordance with the House Ethics Manual and the Rules of the House of Representatives.

The investigation is the latest in a series of probes into the conduct of members of Congress. In recent years, the House Ethics Committee has investigated several members of Congress for alleged violations of House rules and federal laws.

Representative Santos has not yet commented on the investigation. It is unclear how long the investigation will take or what the outcome may be.
