Reports emerge that the embattled New York congressman told donors of his role, which the lead producer denies
that during the time the musical was on Broadway, Santos went from living in Brazil to working at a call centre in Queens and founding a charity to raise money for sick animals that is now being investigated after a military veteran accused Santos of absconding with money raised for his dog.Santos remains in the House as a valuable vote for Kevin McCarthy, the Republican speaker who must work with a narrow majority.
The aide, Dan Myers, was previously a reporter in Ohio who faced criminal charges for publishing recorded legal testimony.In Myers’s recorded exchange with Santos, the congressman boasted about messaging with a CNN host. “Don Lemon just texted me – I’m sorry, I’m listening to you – Don Lemon just texted me!” Santos said.
He also discussed the merits and costs of Botox treatments before saying Myers’s past problems in Ohio were “not concerning to us, it’s concerning to this institution”.. He told the website that as Santos spoke, he was “thinking to myself, ‘I’m a threat and concern to this institution –George Santos, you’re George Santos!’”

Protesters sought to ‘hound’ Cardinal George Pell ‘to his grave’Protesters sought to “hound Cardinal George Pell to his grave” outside St Mary’s Cathedral during his funeral on Thursday, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin. “Outside the Church, amongst the protesters, I saw footage of their signs railing against same-sex marriage and abortion, and what struck me was their ignorance,” she said. “These are traditional church teachings that they oppose, fair enough, don't follow the Catholic faith as I suspect many of them don’t. “But don't abuse Cardinal Pell from following his faith on these matters because what he taught was the Church's doctrine, not something he just invented himself.”
