Speaker Paul D. Ryan announced Tuesday night that he has removed Rep. Duncan Hunter from the three House committees he serves on after the California Republican was indicted for misuse of campaign funds.

Hunter will be at least temporarily stripped of his assignments to the House Armed Services, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Education and the Workforce Committees.

“The charges against Rep. Hunter are deeply serious,” Ryan said in a statement. “The Ethics Committee deferred its investigation at the request of the Justice Department. Now that he has been indicted, Rep. Hunter will be removed from his committee assignments pending the resolution of this matter.”

The Wisconsin Republican had a similar reaction to the Aug. 8 indictment of New York Rep. Chris Collins on charges of insider trading and lying to authorities.

Ryan removed Collins from the Energy and Commerce Committee and called for an investigation into whether Collins violated House rules, while saying it’s up to the court to decide whether he is guilty of the charges.
