Republican lawmaker George Santos, whose lies have made political and media headlines since his election last year, has been charged by federal justice, US media reported on Tuesday.
According to CNN, which cites three sources familiar with the matter, federal prosecutors have charged Mr. Santos and the New York elected official could appear in court on Wednesday.
George Santos, 34, who notably inflated his financial income and “embellished” his CV, admitted to having grossly lied about whole parts of his life.
He who presented himself as a symbol of the “American dream” is also accused of having lied or exaggerated reality by presenting himself as “an American proud to be Jewish” – he grew up in a Catholic family, but maintains that his ” heritage is Jewish” — or like the grandson of Holocaust survivors who fled Nazi barbarism.
It is the subject of multiple investigations, in Congress, in New York and as far away as Brazil.
