Summary
Embattled Republican Rep. George Santos of New York will not serve on two House committees to which he was recently assigned until investigations into his conduct end. He informed Republican lawmakers during a closed-door conference meeting in Washington, D.C., earlier that he would not accept committee assignments until he is cleared of probes. He is currently under investigation at local, state, federal and international levels. A new poll found that 78% of registered voters in his district want him to resign. Google's ex-CEO Eric Schmidt was tapped for a federal biotech commission that allows members to keep biotech investments.
