WASHINGTON — Rep.-elect George Santos, R-N.Y., admitted Monday that he lied about his job experience and college education during his successful campaign for a seat in the U.S. House.
In an interview with the New York Post, Santos said: « My sins here are embellishing my resume. I’m sorry. »
He also told the newspaper: « I campaigned talking about the people’s concerns, not my resume » and added, « I intend to deliver on the promises I made during the campaign. »
The New York Times raised questions last week about the life story that Santos, 34, had presented during his campaign.
