A former acquaintance of Congressman George Santos appeared on CNN on Tuesday and delivered the latest round of seemingly unending allegations of dishonesty piling up around the freshman Republican from New York.

At one point, Mr Morey-Parker alleged that the now-congressman had cheated one homeless pet owner out of thousands of dollars in donations, a charge Mr Santos has denied. He also claimed that the Republican representative would use a false last name on some campaigns in an effort to pass off as Jewish, which Mr Morey-Parker explained was part of a scheme to entice Jewish Americans to donate to the campaigns.
