House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) admitted Monday he “always had a few questions” about the resume of Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.), the newly elected congressman who was found to have lied extensively about his credentials.
“I never knew all about his resume or not, but I always had a few questions about it,” McCarthy said, after a reporter asked if he had any inkling about the allegations against Santos before they became public.
The reporter also asked about how a Santos staffer was caught impersonating McCarthy’s chief of staff to make fundraising calls during Santos’ 2020 and 2022 House campaigns.
