"I've not spoken with him. After all, how can I believe everything he says?" Rep. Nicole Malliotakis said."Look, I think he, right now, he was elected by the people, and legally, he has to be sat, so unless there's a criminal charge that emerges from these investigations," Malliotakis said.Santos has admitted to lying about his faith, education and job history.
"He's a disgrace, and he needs to step down," Rep.
