An ethics panel in the United States House of Representatives is investigating Republican Congressman over a litany of falsehoods about his education, profession, cultural background and financial dealings that have attracted scrutiny since his election in 2022.The House Ethics Committee made the announcement on Thursday, and its probe appears to be wide in scope. Santos has consistently stated that he will not heed calls to resign from office.In a statement, the Committee said that the investigation would seek to determine whether Santos “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”.
