Multiple GOP lawmakers tell NPR that embattled New York Republican Rep. George Santos has voluntarily recused himself from serving on committees temporarily.
Santos made those comments during the GOP’s weekly closed-door conference meeting Tuesday morning.
Santos noted his presence was a distraction, those in the meeting said. He did not answer questions from NPR as he left the meeting.
