Santos faces seven counts of wire fraud, three of money laundering, one of theft of public funds and two of lying to the House on financial forms in that case.

Other Democrats argued that the referral would accomplish little, at least in the short term, because of the long-standing tradition by the Ethics Committee of pausing investigations while prosecutions take place.On Thursday, Joyce declined to say exactly what conduct his subcommittee would continue to scrutinize.I wouldn’t get into the substance of any of the allegations because it’s not fair to the person who’s before you,” Joyce said.
