About this episode
Former congressman George Santos allegedly lied to donors about money donated for his campaign that he actually spent on luxury goods, travel, Botox and online porn. He faked his education, job history, even his 'Jewishness.' Last week, the House of Representatives voted to expel Santos, a historic moment that saw the Republican bounced from Congress. But where were the gatekeepers when he was elected? On Deadline is hosted and produced by Lauren Barry. It's also produced by Joe Hiti, Christy Strawser, Bill Smee and Myron Kaplan. Sound design by Joe Hiti.
