Santos steps down from committees as ABC News publishes report of lies, catfishing and more lies
George Santos From Wire Reports Just as gay Republican Rep. George Santos of New York told GOP colleagues Tuesday, Jan. 31, he was “temporarily” stepping down from his two congressional committees amid a host of ethics issues and a day after he met with House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, ABC News has launched a blockbuster report full of allegations against Santos of catfishing, threats and dating teenagers.
According to the ABC News report, “multiple men” have described relationships with Santos, some of which happened when these men were still teenagers, in which Santos lied to try and manipulate and trap them.
Santos has faced numerous calls for his resignation and is facing multiple investigations by prosecutors over his personal and campaign finances and lies about his resume and family background.
He still says he will not resign from Congress, though. Santos had been assigned to two fairly low-profile panels, the House Committee on Small Business and to the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee.
