NEW YORK — Rep. George Santos, already under the microscope of prosecutors, faced a bipartisan rebuke on Thursday from a group of his House colleagues, who unanimously ordered their own inquiry into the Republican’s outlandish campaign fabrications.
The 10-member House Ethics Committee said its investigation into Santos would examine whether he broke the law during his campaign or in connection with a financial services company, failed to properly disclose information to Congress, or engaged in sexual misconduct with a job applicant.
The committee said it voted to launch the probe on Tuesday, seven weeks after two Democratic New York congressmen filed a complaint against Santos with the panel.
