Long Island prosecutors have launched an investigation into U.S. Rep.-elect George Santos of New York, after revelations surfaced that the now-embattled Republican lied about his heritage, education and professional pedigree as he campaigned for office.But despite intensifying doubt about his fitness to hold federal office, Santos has thus far shown no signs of stepping aside 바카라 게임 웹사이트� even as he has publicly admitted to a long list of lies.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The numerous fabrications and inconsistencies associated with Congressman-Elect Santos are nothing short of stunning," said Nassau County District Attorney Anne T. Donnelly, a Republican.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The residents of Nassau County and other parts of the third district must have an honest and accountable representative in Congress,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said. "No one is above the law and if a crime was committed in this county, we will prosecute it.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Santos바카라 게임 웹사이트� campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.He is scheduled to be sworn in next Tuesday, when the U.S. House reconvenes. If he assumes office, he could face investigations by the House Committee on Ethics and the Justice Department.The New York attorney general바카라 게임 웹사이트�s office has already said it is looking into some of the issues that have come to light.The Republican has admitted to lying about having Jewish ancestry, a Wall Street pedigree and a college degree, but he has yet to address other lingering questions 바카라 게임 웹사이트� including the source of what appears to be a quickly amassed fortune despite recent financial problems, including evictions and owing thousands in back rent.Some fellow Republicans had called for Congress and law enforcement to launch inquiries.Fellow Long Island Republican, Rep.-elect Nick Lalota said he was troubled by the revelations.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I believe a full investigation by the House Ethics Committee and, if necessary, law enforcement, is required,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Lalota said Tuesday.A spokesperson for the Nassau County DA바카라 게임 웹사이트�s office, Brendan Brosh, said Wednesday: 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We are looking into the matter.바카라 게임 웹사이트� The scope of the investigation was not immediately clear.Other Republicans castigated Santos for his dishonesty but stopped short of asking him to step aside.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Congressman-Elect George Santos has broken the public trust by making serious misstatements regarding his background, experience and education, among other issues,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said Joseph G. Cairo, chair of the Nassau County Republican Committee, which lies within the 3rd Congressional District.Cairo said he 바카라 게임 웹사이트�expected more than just a blanket apology,바카라 게임 웹사이트� adding that 바카라 게임 웹사이트�the damage that his lies have caused to many people, especially those who have been impacted by the Holocaust, are profound.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Fellow Long Island Republican, Rep.-elect Nick Lalota said he was troubled by the revelations.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I believe a full investigation by the House Ethics Committee and, if necessary, law enforcement, is required,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Lalota said Tuesday.On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Nassau County DA바카라 게임 웹사이트�s office, Brendan Brosh, said: 바카라 게임 웹사이트�We are looking into the matter.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Questions intensified after The New York Times examined the narrative Santos, 34, presented to voters during his successful campaign for a congressional district that straddles the north shore suburbs of Long Island and a sliver of Queens.The Times uncovered records in Brazil that show Santos was the subject of a criminal investigation there in 2008 over allegations that he used stolen checks to buy items at an clothing shop in the city of Niteroi. At the time, Santos would have been 19. The Times quoted local prosecutors as saying the case was dormant because Santos had never appeared in court. Santos continued to deny that he was being sought by authorities in South America.Democrats pounced, calling Santos a serial fabulist and demanded he voluntarily not take office.In an interview with the New York Post earlier this week, Santos apologized for his fabrications but downplayed them as 바카라 게임 웹사이트�sins바카라 게임 웹사이트� over embellishing his resume, adding that 바카라 게임 웹사이트�we do stupid things in life.바카라 게임 웹사이트�He admitted to lying about working for Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, as well as having earned a degree in finance and economics from Baruch College in New York.Beyond his resume, Santos invented a life story that has also come under question, including claims that his grandparents 바카라 게임 웹사이트�fled Jewish persecution in Ukraine, settled in Belgium, and again fled persecution during WWII.바카라 게임 웹사이트�During his campaign, he referred to himself as 바카라 게임 웹사이트�a proud American Jew.바카라 게임 웹사이트�He backtracked on that claim, saying he never intended to claim Jewish heritage, which would have likely raised his appeal among his district바카라 게임 웹사이트�s significant ranks of Jewish voters.바카라 게임 웹사이트�I am Catholic,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he told the Post. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Jew-ish.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�In a statement Tuesday, the Republican Jewish Coalition repudiated Santos.바카라 게임 웹사이트�He deceived us and misrepresented his heritage. In public comments and to us personally he previously claimed to be Jewish,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the coalition said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�He will not be welcome at any future RJC event.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Santos lost his first race for Congress in 2020 but successfully ran again this year.In its opposition research on Santos, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee raised several red flags about the Republican바카라 게임 웹사이트�s record 바카라 게임 웹사이트� but also accepted some of his assertions, including his educational record, as fact. The 87-page dossier sought to tie him to the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol and his support for baseless claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. The report also sought to depict him as a far-right candidate. But buried within its report, the DCCC had raised issues about his shaky financial standing and multiple evictions that left him thousands of dollars in debt.Federal campaign records show that he loaned his campaign more than $700,000, but the source of that money has yet to be explained.바카라 게임 웹사이트�George Santos is delusional if he thinks voters will trust him after he바카라 게임 웹사이트�s been exposed for lie after lie and continues to withhold key information,바카라 게임 웹사이트� DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre said.While his Democratic opponent, Robert Zimmerman, also tried to raise Santos바카라 게임 웹사이트� misrepresentations during his losing campaign, it did not gain much traction.Zimmerman had said that Santos was unfit for office and has called for him to step aside so a special election can be held.
