Republican Leaders in New York are Calling for the Resignation of New GOP Congressman George Santos
Local Republican leaders in New York are calling for the immediate resignation of their new GOP congressman George Santos.
Santos is facing multiple investigations by prosecutors over his personal and campaign finances and lies about his resume and family heritage.
The chair of the Nassau County Republican Committee said Wednesday that Santos' "lies were not mere fibs" and that he had "disgraced" the U.S. House.
