0:00:15.356 --> 0:00:25.196
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin. Hey, it's Jake. I'm in your feed today to

0:00:25.236 --> 0:00:28.316
<v Speaker 1>tell you about a special mini series that the Deep

0:00:28.356 --> 0:00:32.836
<v Speaker 1>Cover Team is releasing very soon. It's all about George Santos,

0:00:33.116 --> 0:00:36.556
<v Speaker 1>the Republican congressman from New York who told a lot

0:00:36.596 --> 0:00:39.516
<v Speaker 1>of stories about his life and his credentials, many of

0:00:39.556 --> 0:00:43.516
<v Speaker 1>which turns out were not true. And now in just

0:00:43.556 --> 0:00:46.676
<v Speaker 1>a few weeks, Santos is scheduled to face a criminal trial.

0:00:47.876 --> 0:00:50.676
<v Speaker 1>This is a story that my producer Amy Gaines McQuaid

0:00:50.756 --> 0:00:53.356
<v Speaker 1>has been following for a while. She's talked to a

0:00:53.436 --> 0:00:57.356
<v Speaker 1>lot of people try to answer the question, who is

0:00:57.476 --> 0:00:58.396
<v Speaker 1>George Santos?

0:00:58.556 --> 0:00:58.876
<v Speaker 2>Really?

0:01:00.956 --> 0:01:03.876
<v Speaker 3>That's why mister Rickley Neeeds catch me if you can.

0:01:04.676 --> 0:01:07.636
<v Speaker 3>I mean, the guy who'd win to everyone. George Santos

0:01:07.676 --> 0:01:10.596
<v Speaker 3>did not give me access. He became a challenge to me.

0:01:10.636 --> 0:01:13.116
<v Speaker 3>I needed to talk to this man, clearly. I want

0:01:13.156 --> 0:01:14.876
<v Speaker 3>to ask where he got his money from, because that

0:01:14.996 --> 0:01:16.596
<v Speaker 3>was like the big dispepancy, right.

0:01:16.756 --> 0:01:21.836
<v Speaker 4>He was very ambiguous and sketchy, quite quite honestly about

0:01:21.956 --> 0:01:23.836
<v Speaker 4>what the company did and how it made so much

0:01:23.876 --> 0:01:24.836
<v Speaker 4>money overnight.

0:01:24.916 --> 0:01:27.276
<v Speaker 2>What prosecutors a legend the indictment is that most of

0:01:27.316 --> 0:01:31.876
<v Speaker 2>that twelve thousand dollars goes directly to Santos's personal bank account.

0:01:31.916 --> 0:01:34.956
<v Speaker 5>I would go down these rabbit holes and start thinking about,

0:01:35.156 --> 0:01:37.236
<v Speaker 5>like what is the nature of truth? You know, like

0:01:37.316 --> 0:01:40.996
<v Speaker 5>what can I actually like tell the reader is real

0:01:41.196 --> 0:01:42.396
<v Speaker 5>about this guy's story.

0:01:42.676 --> 0:01:47.836
<v Speaker 6>My phone is literally blowing up inquiries about saying, is

0:01:47.876 --> 0:01:49.396
<v Speaker 6>George going to jail? What's going on?

0:01:49.636 --> 0:01:50.956
<v Speaker 2>And I thought, oh.

0:01:50.836 --> 0:01:52.876
<v Speaker 4>My god, this is like.

0:01:53.556 --> 0:01:55.276
