'Hiding from legitimate questions': RepJeffries demands answers from scandal-embroiled Santos4Congress
Santos is facing scrutiny after a New York Times report called into question Santos's truthfulness regarding his education, background in finance, address, and a charity he claimed he led — information the outlet was unable to verify. Santos is also accused of committing check fraud in Brazil.
“No one can find him. He's hiding from legitimate questions that his constituents are asking about his education, about his so-called charity, about his work experience, about his criminal entanglements in Brazil, about every aspect it appears of his life,” he added. "It's also apparent to me that George Santos has perpetrated a fraud in terms of his views on delivering for the people of Nassau County. He pretended to be a moderate on the campaign trail. We know that is not true. He's consistently played footsie with white supremacists, election deniers, and those who seek to overturn our democracy,” Jeffries continued.
“After four years in the public eye, and on the verge of being sworn in as a member of the Republican-led 118th Congress, the New York Times launches this shotgun blast of attacks,” attorney Joseph Murray said in a statement.“It is no surprise that Congressman-elect Santos has enemies at the New York Times who are attempting to smear his good name with these defamatory allegations. As Winston Churchill famously stated, ‘You have enemies? Good.
