As the controversy surrounding Congressman-elect George Santos continues to play out, legal and political experts discussed how they see things playing out for Santos in office and in court. While Santos is expected to take office Jan. 3, he is also facing investigations by multiple prosecutor’s offices.

After confirming the accusations made by the bombshell New York Times article as true, Santos has faced increasing calls for his resignation. However, despite admitting to lying about his educational and work histories throughout his campaign, Santos stated he had no intention of resigning.
