00:00:33,116 --> 00:00:36,556
Speaker 1: the Republican congressman from New York who told a lot

5
00:00:36,596 --> 00:00:39,516
Speaker 1: of stories about his life and his credentials, many of

6
00:00:39,556 --> 00:00:43,516
Speaker 1: which turns out were not true. And now in just

00:00:43,556 --> 00:00:46,676
Speaker 1: a few weeks, Santos is scheduled to face a criminal trial.

8
00:00:47,876 --> 00:00:50,676
Speaker 1: This is a story that my producer Amy Gaines McQuaid

9
00:00:50,756 --> 00:00:53,356
Speaker 1: has been following for a while. She's talked to a

10
00:00:53,436 --> 00:00:57,356
Speaker 1: lot of people try to answer the question, who is

11
00:00:57,476 --> 00:00:58,396
Speaker 1: George Santos?

12
00:00:58,556 --> 00:00:58,876

16
00:01:10,636 --> 00:01:13,116
Speaker 3: I needed to talk to this man, clearly. I want

17
00:01:13,156 --> 00:01:14,876
Speaker 3: to ask where he got his money from, because that

18
00:01:14,996 --> 00:01:16,596
Speaker 3: was like the big dispepancy, right.

19
00:01:16,756 --> 00:01:21,836

21
00:01:23,876 --> 00:01:24,836

23
00:01:27,316 --> 00:01:31,876
Speaker 2: that twelve thousand dollars goes directly to Santos's personal bank account.

24
00:01:31,916 --> 00:01:34,956
