Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) was assigned to two separate committees on Jan. 17 despite coming under scrutiny from fellow lawmakers after revealing he fabricated parts of his past, including his education and employment history.

The House GOP Steering Committee, a panel of around 30 House leadership members, is responsible for recommending members to serve on the various committees. Their recommendations must first be fully approved by the House Republican Conference.
