He now acknowledges none of that is true. He also admits his claim that four of his employees died in the 2016 Pulse night club shooting in Miami was false.A growing number of critics, including some in the Republican Party, say Santos' outright lied when he claimed to be"a proud Jewish American" and said members of his family escaped the Holocaust.
One of New York's most influential Republicans, Nassau County GOP Chairman Joseph Cairo Jr., issued his own statement Monday, blasting Santos for"lies" that"broke the public trust." One legal wrinkle could be the roughly $700,000 Santos says he loaned his campaign. According to Briffault, federal law prohibits candidates from misstating the source of campaign funds.
"All of Mr. Santos's disclosures must be thoroughly investigated by the Federal Election Commission...for campaign finance fraud," said Rep.-elect Dan Goldman, a New York Democrat who won a House seat last month, in a statement.
