Freshman Republican congressman George Santos has moved to deny reports that he performed in drag competitions under the name “Kitara” while living in Brazil over a decade ago.
Mr Santos remains under fire over a series of alleged untruths concerning his background, which arose from a New York Times investigation alleging that he had fabricated a number of key details about his past. The fabrications have led to persistent calls for his resignation just months after he was elected to represent New York’s 3rd Congressional District, having defeated Democrat Robert Zimmerman in November’s midterms.
