House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Tuesday said Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) will be removed from Congress if the House Ethics Committee finds he broke the law.
It’s the closest McCarthy has come to outlining potential consequences for the Long Island freshman amid a battery of investigations into revelations he fabricated huge swaths of his resume.
“If for some way when we go through Ethics and he has broken the law, then we will remove him,” McCarthy told reporters at a press conference outside his Capitol office on Tuesday.
