Media Tip Sheet: George Santos Steps Away From Committee Assignments


January 31, 2023

Rep. George Santos announced he will recuse himself from his committee assignments until he can wriggle out of the towering heap of trouble he’s built for himself. The House committees on Small Business and Space, Science and Technology will just have to get along without the New York Republican, much to the relief of House GOP leadership.

Casey Burgat is the director of the Legislative Affairs master’s program at the GW Graduate School of Political Management. He can comment on the greater Santos saga while unlocking the machinery of congressional committees. Dr. Burgat can also discuss the conversations taking place among House Republican leaders on what to do about the Santos dilemma.
