No one is above the law and if a crime was committed in this county, we will prosecute it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While Santos says he has every intention of being sworn in next week, there is a growing push among lawmakers and his would-be constituents for him to face scrutiny from the House Ethics Committee and even step down.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on FOX News on Tuesday night, former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard tore into the 34-year-old, questioning how the American people can believe anything he says. <\/p>\n<p>Rep.-elect George Santos, a Republican, admitted to fabricating key parts of his stated educational, work, and personal background. But he pushed back on claims that he is a liar and a fraud.<\/p>\n<p>A recent report by the New York Times found that Santos had lied about working for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, graduating from Baruch College and about his mother being a Jewish woman whose parents fled the Nazis in World War II.<\/p>\n<p>Santos&#8217; opponent in the November election, Democrat Robert Zimmerman, has also called on Santos to resign and run against him again in a special election. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Face the voters with your real past &amp; answer questions about your criminal history.
