Members involved

• George Santos (R-NY)

Statement

On February 28, 2023, the Committee voted to establish an Investigative Subcommittee (ISC) with jurisdiction to determine whether Representative George Santos may have: engaged in unlawful activity with respect to his 2022 congressional campaign; failed to properly disclose required information on statements filed with the House; violated federal conflict of interest laws in connection with his role in a firm providing fiduciary services; and/or engaged in sexual misconduct towards an individual seeking employment in his congressional office. The ISC is actively working to resolve this matter in an expeditious timeframe and has issued over 30 subpoenas and more than 40 voluntary requests for information. As required by House and Committee rules, the ISC’s work is confidential and the Committee will not release its findings prior to the conclusion of the ISC process. On May 9, 2023, Representative Santos was indicted on federal charges in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. Most of the charges in the indictment were already in the jurisdiction of the ISC.
