Tellingly, neither he nor his campaign has tried to disprove any of the allegations. (Though a lawyer representing him [has said](https://thehill.com/homenews/house/3781388-incoming-gop-lawmakers-lawyer-nyt-report-a-shotgun-blast-of-attacks/) Santos was a victim of a “shotgun blast of attacks” and described media exposés about his background as “defamatory allegations.”) Not a good start to a budding political career.

Santos, whose resume has come under scrutiny since he won his congressional election in November, says he'll address questions next week.

The citation states that Santos, at the time of the charges, was in "an uncertain and unknown location" and therefore could not be summoned. A 2013 public notice from a Rio de Janeiro court accused Santos of embezzlement, though it did not elaborate on the charges. The Devolders came to the church once in a while, he told CBS News. He also said that when Santos' mother, Fatima Devolder, died in 2016, Santos approached him to ask for help from the church. "To the people of #NY03 I have my story to tell and it will be told next week," he tweeted. New York Congressman-elect George Santos may be facing some legal obstacles soon, after a number of inconsistencies in his resume came to light this week.

New York Attorney General Tish James is looking into claims that the Republican rep.-elect lied about much of his biography.

“I want to assure everyone that I will address your questions and that I remain committed to deliver the results I campaigned on; Public safety, Inflation, Education & more. On Thursday, Santos promised to address the matter soon. But, Catsimatidis said, Santos “should be held to the same standard as” Connecticut Sen.

I don’t like the president,” said the voter who is unrelated to Santos’ Democratic opponent, Robert Zimmerman. Incoming House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has called out Santos for hiding from questions. “Truthfully, I don’t trust the Democrats on anything they say. But a week ago, the “All of them, they’re getting away with it. Neither Baruch College nor the investment bank had any record of him. “Right now I’m a Republican because Democrats, they’re destroying our country.

Mr. Santos, the congressman-elect from New York, has yet to address numerous inconsistencies raised by The New York Times about his background.

Mr. “He’s hiding out from legitimate questions that his constituents are asking about his education, about his so-called charity, about his work experience, about his criminal entanglement in Brazil, about every aspect, it appears, of his life.” Santos appeared “to be in the witness protection program” after he spent the week avoiding the press. In his statement on Twitter, he said, “I want to assure everyone that I will address your questions and that I remain committed to deliver the results I campaigned on; Public safety, Inflation, Education & more. Santos has faced numerous calls to address The Times’s reporting. In the report published on Monday, The Times found that key pillars of Mr.

[The Forward and CNN reported](https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/21/politics/george-santos-geneaology/index.html) that Santos fabricated a claim that his grandparents fled the Holocaust.

[as the Poynter Institute for Media Studies has documented](https://www.poynter.org/business-work/2022/here-are-the-newsroom-layoffs-furloughs-and-closures-caused-by-the-coronavirus/), local newsrooms and those that are subsidiaries of national outlets have either closed or implemented widespread layoffs.

He didn’t go to school where he claimed to go to school, the Times reported. But perhaps the most alarming thought is that such an apparent fraud was able to win a congressional seat in part because local newsrooms have either been shut down entirely or decimated by consolidation and layoffs.
