Deep dives
George Santos voluntarily steps off committee assignments
George Santos, the Republican representative who was given three committee assignments by Kevin McCarthy, has voluntarily stepped off those assignments. This comes as Santos faced controversy and scrutiny over allegations of lying about his personal history and campaign finance issues. Republicans needed every vote to secure McCarthy's position as Speaker, which is likely why they initially supported Santos. However, Santos is now poised to cast a vote on whether to remove Ilhan Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, a move that many see as hypocritical given his own past controversies.
