Episode Notes
How far can you go on a lie? Looking at the career of George Santos, United States Representative-elect, it can take you at least to the congressional floor. But now, firmly in the public eye, his resume unraveling, is Santos’ political career about to be derailed before it starts? And how did it get this far in the first place?
Guest: Azi Paybarah, national reporter covering campaigns and breaking politics news at the Washington Post.
