So George Santos now admits he lied about, well, everything: He didn’t work on Wall Street or graduate from college. But he’s still planning to take the seat in Congress he won under false pretenses. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/26/nyregion/george-santos-interview.html

I note this doesn’t actually answer the major question: Where did all his money come from given that he was so cash-strapped he was getting evicted from apartments and sued by credit card companies just a few years ago?

Anyway, I’ll just note that Santos initially pulled the usual tactic of claiming that the New York Times report on his lies was a smear campaign by the liberal media. He’s only fessing up at this late date because it became clear the lies were unsustainable.
