Rep. George Santos said he is “innocent” in response to questions about his alleged involvement in a 2017 credit card skimming operation. His comments come after POLITICO's exclusive report that his former roommate claimed Santos oversaw the operation.
“I am coming forward today to declare that the person in charge of the crime of credit card fraud when I was arrested was George Santos / Anthony Devolder,” Trelha wrote in the declaration.
Santos, a freshman Republican congressman from New York, has faced backlash for lying about his ancestry, education and previous jobs while campaigning to represent the swing district. He now faces a House panel investigation, as well as state, federal and Brazilian law enforcement probes for a range of possible crimes. He’s admitted to embellishing his resume but has denied any wrongdoing.
