Local New York Republican Leaders to Call on George Santos to Resign

Santos has lied about everything from where he went to college to his Jewish ancestry. He is being investigated by local, state and federal authorities.

The Nassau County Republican Party will officially deliver the reprimand at 11:30 am Wednesday at its headquarters in Westbury, NY. Two other people familiar with the announcement confirmed the news to POLITICO.

The same day, Speaker kevin mccarthy He told reporters that he would not seat Santos on any of the so-called «A Committees,» including the most powerful panels like the Judiciary, Ways and Means and Budget, which usually don’t go to first-term lawmakers anyway. It is not yet clear if Santos will sit on the committees, as some of his fellow Republicans have called for him to be excluded from panel seats entirely.

McCarthy and other House Republican leaders have yet to publicly signal how they plan to handle Santos fabrications internally.
