George Santos is an American politician who served as the U.S. Representative for New York's 3rd congressional district from 2023 to 2024. His tenure was marked by significant controversy stemming from widespread fabrications about his education, work experience, and family history. These misrepresentations led to multiple investigations, including inquiries by the House Ethics Committee, and ultimately resulted in his expulsion from the House of Representatives in December 2023. He is also facing federal criminal charges related to fraud, money laundering, and theft of public funds.
