NEW: Embattled Rep. George Santos4Congress tapped to serve on Small Business Committee

Santos has come under fire from members on both sides of the aisle after news broke that he lied about his background, including his education, work history, and finances. He has also faced allegations of check fraud in Brazil and campaign finance violations.Pressure has mounted on Santos to resign, with his freshman New York GOP colleagues — Marc Molinaro, Mike Lawler, Nick LaLota, Nick Langworthy, and Brandon Williams — calling on him to step down.

Members have also voiced concerns about Santos having access to sensitive and classified information in briefings as a member of Congress.Despite calls for him to give up his seat, Speaker Kevin McCarthy has stated he believes it is up to his constituents and said Santos will be subject to the same ethics standards as other members.
