The Rep.-elect admits to making up parts of his life story.
The New York Times quoted his ex-boyfriend as saying that he felt gullible when he believed some of the lies.
The ex ofSantos accused him of stealing his phone and not paying his bills.
GeorgeSantos is due to take the floor of the House of Representatives on Tuesday, but an ever growing list of scandals and calls to resign look set to overshadow his swearing-in.
After an investigation by The New York Times, the congressman-elect admitted that part of his life story was a lie.
According to a new article by The New York Times, Santos has been telling a fictional story about his life for a long time.
According to The Times, Pedro Vilarva dated the disgraced politician for a few months before moving in with him.
Vilarva said that Santos, who was elected to represent a Long Island district, rarely contributed to bills.
Vilarva said that he was an investor in Citigroup. One day it's one thing and the next it's something else. He didn't go to work.
The Times was told by Citigroup that there was no record ofSantos there. Goldman said it had no record of his employment.
Vilarva said that he was surprised with plane tickets to Hawaii. The tickets didn't exist according to The Times. Vilarva noticed that his cell phone was missing.
He believed that it was pawned bySantos.
Vilarva told the newspaper that he found out that Brazilian police wanted him after searching for him online.
The Times reported in 2008 thatSantos was accused of stealing a checkbook from his mother's care giver.
The newspaper said that the man used the checkbook to make fraudulent purchases in Brazil. According to The Times, he confessed to the crime and was charged, but the case is not finished.
He told the newspaper that this revelation broke his ex-boyfriend's heart. He said that he woke up in the morning and packed his stuff and called his father.
Vilarva told The Times that he was gullible and worried about the impact lying could have on an elected official.
He said he would be scared to have that person in charge.
