The House Ethics Committee is officially investigating George Santos for his campaign activity, financial disclosures, and a sexual misconduct allegation

• The House Ethics Committee has officially launched an investigation into scandal-plagued Rep. George Santos.
• The committee's investigation includes his 2022 campaign and sexual misconduct allegations.
• But the evenly-divided committee doesn't have a history of taking strong action against wrongdoing.

Republican Rep. George Santos of New York is officially the subject of an investigation by the House Committee on Ethics.

The evenly-divided committee, chaired by Republican Rep. Michael Guest of Mississippi, unanimously voted on Tuesday to establish an investigative subcommittee to look into various aspects of Santos' conduct, according to a release.
