George Santos is facing calls for further investigation into his background and finances after he admitted to lying about parts of his biography. Here's what we know about the embattled Republican congressman-elect.
Mr. Santos has said he was born in Queens, N.Y., to Brazilian parents and has dual U.S.-Brazilian citizenship.
He said his father’s parents were Brazilian and his mother’s family was Jewish and had fled persecution in Europe. Public records, however, indicate his mother’s parents were born in Brazil, not Europe. Mr. Santos has said that his understanding of his maternal grandparents’ history and religion came from family stories.
