The committee is also continuing its review of a case involving Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s visit to the 2021 Met Gala.
The House Ethics Committee said Thursday it had begun a formal investigation into embattled Rep. George Santos.
The committee, which is evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, said in a statement it voted unanimously Tuesday to begin an investigation on a host of allegations, including possible “unlawful activity” concerning Santos’ 2022 successful bid for office, failure to disclose all required information on House forms, possible violation of conflict of interest laws and an allegation of sexual misconduct. Opening an investigation is not an indication that a violation has occurred.
Rep. Dave Joyce (R-Ohio) will lead the subcommittee investigating Santos, while Pennsylvania Rep. Susan Wild will be the top Democrat.
