Congressman-Elect George Santos Admits Lying About His College and Career

From an AP story headlined “NY Rep.-elect Santos admits lying about career, college”:

Representative-elect George Santos admitted that he lied about his job experience and college education during his successful campaign for a seat in the U.S. House.

In an interview with the New York Post, Santos said: “My sins here are embellishing my resume. I’m sorry.”

He also told the newspaper: “I campaigned talking about the people’s concerns, not my resume” and added, “I intend to deliver on the promises I made during the campaign.”

The New York Times raised questions last week about the life story that Santos, 34, had presented during his campaign.
