House Democrats file ethics complaint against George Santos
Two New York Democratic congressmen ask bi-partisan House Ethics Committee to investigate George Santos

Two New York Democratic congressmen have requested that the bi-partisan House Ethics Committee investigate newly sworn-in and already embattled Republican U.S. Rep. George Santos.
Democratic New York U.S. Reps. Ritchie Torres, whose district includes most of the south Bronx, and Dan Goldman, whose district includes part of Manhattan and Brooklyn, are filing a formal complaint with the House Ethics Committee against Santos for allegedly violating the Ethics in Government Act.
"George Santos, by his own admission, is an outright fraud," Goldman tweeted Tuesday. "The House has an obligation to police itself and maintain the integrity of the institution."
Santos, sworn in by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Saturday after flipping New York’s 3rd district on Long Island and Queens to Republican control for the first time in a decade, was already hit with a separate, federal watchdog complaint earlier this week urging the Federal Election Commission to investigate the first-year congressman for alleged campaign finance law violations.
