House Speaker Kevin McCarthy

 

As majority leader in the House, the responsibility of dealing with the Santos situation has fallen on McCarthy. He recently told CNN that Santos is under an ethics probe, saying, “Ethics is moving through, and if ethics finds something, we’ll take action. Right now, we’re not allowing him to be on committees from the standpoint of the questions that have arisen.” Santos has repeatedly said that he wouldn’t resign and that he is “not concerned” about a House investigation.
