Portions of the report, published here for the first time, show questions surfaced long before Rep. George Santos was elected.

A questionable résuméto have studied at NYU and the City University of New York's Baruch College, but when researchers reached out to those institutions, they say"there was no record of Santos earning any degree from either university."

"We have a great executive board, and the allure of that is the sense of unity it brings to the company culture," Santos is quoted as saying in the video. Prior to Harbor City Capital, Santos worked for a Turkish-based online travel booking company that the report claims is pilloried in online reviews, with customers calling it a"complete scam," the"worst company," and"cheating, lying scum."Among the most damning revelations in the report are ones that echo the criminal charges he is currently facing.

By 2022, prosecutors say Santos had"overstated his income and assets," claiming he was worth up to $11 million. One of his top donors during the 2020 campaign was Michael Niamonitakis, who that year made the New York City Public Advocate's list of"worst landlords." This image from the 2021"George Santos Vulnerability Report," obtained by CBS News, shows an Instagram photo of Santos with his then wife in 2014."While married to Uadla Viera, Santos appears to have dated and lived with a man named Pedro Vilarva, an undocumented immigrant from Brazil," the report claims, later adding that at one point Vilarva referred to himself as"Pedro Santos.
