Brooklyn Congressman and incoming Democratic House Leader Hakeem Jeffries slammed embattled George Santos as a “complete and utter fraud” Wednesday after the bombshell report alleging that the Republican Congress Member-elect fabricated parts of his résumé to voters.
Outside of a statement from his campaign attorney besmirching the report, Santos — who’s due to take office on Jan. 3 as the 3rd District representative for northeast Queens and northern Nassau County — has been largely silent about the New York Times article published Monday which indicated that he lied to voters about his education, career and even founding of a nonprofit charity.
