Rep. George Santos (R-Nassau/Queens) has recused himself from his two House committee assignments while investigations of him are ongoing, he announced at a meeting Tuesday morning.
House majority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) had assigned Santos to the House Science, Space and Technology Committee and the Small Business Committee. Santos released a statement through his communications director explaining his decision to step down from the committees, saying that “the business of the 118th Congress must continue without media fanfare.”
