The top prosecutor in Nassau County, New York, on Wednesday said her office would investigate Rep.-elect George Santos (R-N.Y.) after reports emerged he had fabricated large parts of his personal and professional history.

“The numerous fabrications and inconsistencies associated with Congressman-Elect Santos are nothing short of stunning,” Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly (R) said in a statement.

“The residents of Nassau County and other parts of the third district must have an honest and accountable representative in Congress. No one is above the law and if a crime was committed in this county, we will prosecute it.”

A report from The New York Times published earlier this month brought to light numerous instances in which Santos had apparently misrepresented his education and professional working history on the campaign trail.

In an interview with The New York Post published earlier this week, he admitted to “embellishing” his resume, conceding that he had not graduated from college, including Baruch College, nor worked at Citigroup or Goldman Sachs, among other fabrications. Still, he argued during his interview with the Post that it would not impact his ability to legislate and serve his constituents.
