During testimony in a 2017 case George Santos told King County Judge Sean O’Donnell he worked for Goldman Sachs in New York, a claim now known to be false as Goldman Sachs has no record of Santos ever working there. Santos was testifying as a character witness for a ‘family friend’ who was deported to Brazil for credit card fraud after he was seen with skimming devices at ATMs on Pike Street. We have courtroom sound of Santos’ comments, and chat with Politico reporter Jacqueline Sweet, who broke the story.

PLUS: An Alaska state representative is censured for offensive comments
