The New York Republican is under investigation by Long Island prosecutors after he admitted that he wasn't Jewish and didn't graduate from college.
In a report published Wednesday, CNN's KFile listed additional instances of Santos making false claims about his background and identity, including using a "Jewish" alias to fundraise for a pet charity and claiming he attended a prestigious New York prep school.
