Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., leaves a House GOP conference meeting in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 25, 2023.Embattled New York Republican Rep. George Santos is voluntarily stepping down from his committee assignments amid outcry over his fabricated biography and ongoing questions about his personal and campaign finances.
Texas Rep. Roger Williams, who chairs the latter committee, said he understood from Santos that the move is temporary. "For a while, the question I was getting asked by [the press] is 'Where you gonna put him? Can he do this?' - it became about him," Williams said."It's not about him. It's about our committee and we have so much to do and when he gets ready to get back on and he's met the thresholds that he's set or whatever, then let's go."
Nassau County GOP Chairman Joseph Cairo recently called Santos' run for office a"campaign of deceit, lies, and fabrication."
