0:06Now PlayingNew York Representative George Santos is giving up his seats on the two committees he was assigned less than a month into a controversial term that has been punctuated by a relentless string of revelations of both personal and professional fabrications.
Santos has resisted calls from other New York Republicans to resign his seat, but on Tuesday said he would revoke - at least for now - his committee membership as the turmoil plays out. He had yet to attend his first hearing.
Fellow New York Republican Elise Stefanik, chair of the House GOP caucus, said Santos “voluntarily removed himself from committees as he goes through this process.” In a statement, Santos spokeswoman Naysa Woomer characterized the move as “reserving his seats on his assigned committees until he has been properly cleared of both campaign and personal financial investigations.”
Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, once a GOP gadfly who is now in Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s inner circle, called the decision a “pretty bold move.”
