From a New York Times story by Neil Vigdor headlined “George Santos Is in a Class of His Own. But Other Politicians Have Embellished Their Resumes, Too”:

With his admission this week that he lied to voters about his credentials, Representative-elect George Santos has catapulted to the top of the list of politicians who have misled the public about their past.

Mr. Santos, a New York Republican, fabricated key biographical elements of his background, including misrepresentations of his professional background, educational history and property ownership, in a pattern of deception that was uncovered by The New York Times. He even misrepresented his Jewish heritage.
