Embattled Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) has secured a seat on the House Committee on Small Business, despite receiving growing blowback for fabricating key details of his background that were central to his campaign, a committee spokesperson confirmed.
Rep. Roger Williams , chair of the Small Business Committee, told Axios of Santos: "We will find a way to make him add value to [the committee]."
Williams also said he is concerned about Santos' record of dishonesty. "What he's said, the things he's done, I don't agree with ... I'm against all that. Nobody agrees [with] all that," he told Axios. But, he said, Santos has a right to be on the committee as a duly elected member of Congress. Williams added that he can handle keeping Santos in line: "I employ hundreds of people right now in Texas. I've been through everything. This is not something that I'm new at."Axios on facebook
