Rep. George Santos not invited to Long Island breakfast amid House Ethics Committee investigation
BETHPAGE, Nassau County (WABC) -- Embattled New York Congressman George Santos is now being investigated by the House Ethics Committee to see if he violated laws pertaining to campaign finance, financial disclosure, conflict of interest and sexual misconduct.
While the freshman Republican remained on Capitol Hill on Friday, his three fellow Long Island congressional colleagues spoke together to 400 people from the business community at the Long Island Association Breakfast.
Santos wasn't invited.
"He was never given an invitation because again, we wanted to have this serious discussion, hear from our members of Congress about what they're working on and do it without any distractions," said Long Island Association President Matt Cohen.
GOP congressmen Andrew Garbarino -- who sits on the House Ethics Committee, Anthony D'Esposito and Nick LaLota attended.
"It's an issue that we have to deal with swiftly decisively and fortunately for Long Island, the three Republican members are carrying the load of four," LaLota said. "We're not gonna miss anything on Long Island. The three of us are going to work together to ensure Long Island gets the resources it needs."
