In the United States, a New York Republican recently elected to a seat in Congress seems to have fabricated key elements of his academic and professional career. The New York Times has discovered that Congressman-elect George Santos lied when he told voters he worked for financial firms Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. The Internal Revenue Service said the Friends of Pets United animal rescue organization that Santos claims to have run did not submit any documentation showing that it was tax-exempt, as Santos had claimed. The New York Times newspaper also discovered that Santos was facing criminal charges for check fraud in Brazil at a time when he claimed he was attending classes at Baruch College, where there is no record of the enrollment. of Santos. Meanwhile, Santos falsely claimed his company “lost four employees” in the Orlando Pulse nightclub shooting in June 2016. In November, Santos made history as the first openly gay Republican to win a seat in the United States House of Representatives representing a district of Long Island and Queens that previously favored the Democrats. House Republican Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy has yet to comment on the newspaper’s investigation. Many House Democrats are calling on McCarthy to block Santos from taking office during the swearing-in of the 118th US Congress in January.
