BREAKING: George Santos tells House Republicans he will recuse himself from sitting on committees, sources say

The saga of Rep. George Santos: Inside his many fabrications, exaggerations, and embellishments

On Tuesday morning, Speaker McCarthy confirmed that George Santos said he would recuse himself from committees but indicated if he were to fill the committee seats it would be on a temporary basis. McCarthy reiterated that the House Ethics committee will have questions about many of these concerns and once he answers those questions he may be able to be seated on committees.

McCarthy wouldn't say explicitly whether he encouraged him to step aside from his committee assignments but told reporters, "I think we had a good discussion inside the meeting" and said Santos found this decision was the best way forward.
