Senior House Republicans were so keenly aware of alleged inaccuracies and embellishments in U.S. Rep.–elect George Santos’s professional biography, that the topic became a “running joke,” multiple insiders close to House GOP leadership reportedly told the New York Post.
Santos appears to have lied about his past employment and whether and where he was educated and did not report income on his federal financial disclosures — potentially a crime, the New York Times reported Monday. The latest: Republican congressman-elect George Santos admits to lying about his biography, saying he only claimed to be Jew-ish and not Jewish
A second insider close to GOP leadership called the allegations against Santos “mostly stuff we already knew,” adding that “there were questions. Things weren’t adding up.” Nassau County Republican Committee Chairman Joseph Cairo suggested his patience with Santos was wearing thin.
