Summary
The House Ethics Committee is officially investigating New York Rep. George Santos over whether he broke campaign finance laws. He’s also facing scrutiny over allegations of sexual misconduct from a prospective staffer.
Lawmakers are sounding the alarm over TikTok, with some members of Congress calling for a total ban of the video-sharing app in the U.S. TikTok has been under scrutiny for its data privacy practices, and because its parent company is based in China.
And in headlines: Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee signed a controversial bill prohibiting drag performances into law, Finland’s Parliament gave final approval for the country to join NATO, and a reported battery fire forced a Spirit Airlines flight to make an emergency landing in Florida.
