New York state justice opened a preliminary investigation on Wednesday into the “amazing inventions” of a newly elected Republican congressman for the United States Congress, who admitted to grossly lying on his resume and is being forced to resign.
George Santos, who won a Democratic seat in the Nov. 8 midterm election for the Nassau County (a part of Long Island east of New York City) constituency, confessed Monday to having “beautified his resume.” .
“The many fabrications and inconsistencies linked to Congressman-elect (George) Santos are simply staggering,” Nassau District Attorney Anne Donnelly thundered in a press release released by the local New York press.
Towards a resignation?
This Republican magistrate defended “the inhabitants of Nassau and other regions of the third district (who) should enjoy honest and responsible representation in Congress” in Washington.
George Santos admitted never having worked for the big US banks Goldman Sachs or Citigroup, nor having a university degree from New York University (NYU), contrary to what he claims.
This son of Brazilian immigrants born in Queens, one of the five boroughs of New York City, nevertheless categorically ruled out the idea of resigning from the seat that he should occupy as of January 3 in the House of Representatives. he told the New York Post “not be a criminal”
Several members of the Democratic Party have called on Republican opposition leader Kevin McCarthy to hold a vote to oust George Santos if he refuses to resign.
