Naysa Woomer, the communications director for Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), has resigned amid the congressman’s rising legal troubles. Woomer tendered her resignation shortly after an audio recording was published in which she appeared to express support for Santos’ removal from office.

In a resignation letter that she shared with Scripps News on Wednesday, Woomer said, “With respect for my colleagues, the people of New York, and most importantly, myself, I am honored to tender my resignation.”
