Rep. George Santos told House Republicans during their weekly conference meeting Tuesday that he won’t serve on any committees while investigations into various allegations against him play out.
The Republican Steering Committee had recommended Santos, R-N.Y., be seated on the Small Business and Science, Space and Technology Committees. The full GOP conference did not have an up or down vote on Santos’ assignments, as they ratified steering’s recommendations for all committees together.
Santos said in a statement Tuesday that he would temporarily recuse himself from his committee assignments so that congressional business can “continue without media fanfare.”
