Rep. George Santos dismissed calls from his campaign staff to resign after a background check uncovered lies. He is now facing calls to resign from members of Congress.
GOP Rep., N.Y., had dismissed calls to resign from his campaign staff after a routine background check revealed he fabricated parts of his background.
The findings prompted some members of Santos' staff to demand he drop out of his congressional race, warning that he could otherwise be humiliated. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which works to elect Democrats to the House, compiled 87 pages of opposition research on Santos ahead of his race against Democrat Robert Zimmerman that discovered some of the findings the research firm found.
Santos dismissed the results of the background check and decided to stay in the race, which resulted in resignations from most of his campaign team.
