He also acknowledged that he didn&#8217;t graduate from college. Santos also admitted that he embellished details about his personal life, religion, and sexuality. He said however that these controversies would never detract his duties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am not a criminal,\u201d Santos said. \u201cThis will not deter me from having good legislative success. I will be effective. I will be good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gop-congressman-elect-getting-heat-over-resume-fraud-allegations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">previously reported<\/a> According to The Daily Wire Santos claimed that he received degrees in finance at Baruch College and New York University. CNN and The Times confirmed that Santos had not been to NYU or Baruch.<\/p>\n<p>In his campaign biography, Santos claimed that he worked for Wall Street companies Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. CNN and the Times were told by both companies that there is no record of him ever having worked at these firms.<\/p>\n<p>Santos, in an interview with the Post, admitted that he \u201cnever worked directly\u201d For Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, or Goldman Sachs. Instead, he stated that Link Bridge (a company he worked at) did business with both Citigroup and Goldman Sachs. \u201cLimited Partnerships.\u201d Santos said he helped make \u201ccapital introductions\u201d Between investors and clients.<\/p>\n<p>Santos later admitted that he had never graduated from college. \u201cI didn\u2019t graduate from any institution of higher learning. I\u2019m embarrassed and sorry for having embellished my resume,\u201d He told the Post. \u201cI own up to that \u2026 We do stupid things in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>News reports revealed that Santos also lied about his professional life. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/openly-gay-gop-rep-elect-accused-of-resume-fraud-divorced-woman-two-weeks-before-campaign-launch-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">personal life<\/a>. According to New York court records, George Devolder Santos filed an uncontested divorce in 2019 with Uadla Santos VIeira Santos. Also, the person in question had a second initial \u201cA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Santos\u2019 middle name is Anthony, the Daily Beast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/openly-gay-rep-elect-george-santos-didnt-disclose-divorce-with-woman?ref=scroll\">noted<\/a>, but he also occasionally uses Devolder, which is his mother\u2019s maiden name. The Devolder Organization is his financial company.<\/p>\n<p>Santos\u2019 campaign biography does not mention any past marriage to a woman but notes that he lives with his husband and their four dogs on Long Island.<\/p>\n<p>Santos confessed that he had been married for five years to a woman, but now he is married to a man.<\/p>\n<p>Santos&#8217; claimed Jewish heritage is another question mark. The Forward <a href=\"https:\/\/forward.com\/news\/529130\/george-santos-jewish-lie-genealogy-records\/\">reported<\/a> Wednesday&#8217;s congressman was caught lying when he claimed his grandparents fled anti-Jewish persecution in World War II. Instead, a genealogical search showed his mother\u2019s parents were born in Brazil instead of Ukraine or Belgium, as his campaign website asserted, according to The Forward.<\/p>\n<p>Santos spoke to the Post and said that he was \u201cclearly Catholic,\u201d But he claimed that his grandmother had told him stories about being Jewish before converting to Catholicism later in his life.<\/p>\n<p>Santos claimed that the false claims made about his personal life will not reduce or diminish his effectiveness as legislator. \u201cI campaigned talking about the people\u2019s concerns, not my resume,\u201d He said. \u201cI intend to deliver on the promises I made during the campaign \u2014 fighting crime, fighting to lower education, improving education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came to DC to bring results on those issues and that\u2019s what I\u2019m going to do,\u201d He added.<\/p>\n<p><em>Mairead Elordi was a contributor to this report.<\/p>\n<p><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Republican Congressman-elect George Santos came clean about questionable aspects of his career and personal life.
