12:38 am
rough competition. you're splitting hairs. it really starts to come down to presentation. i'm getting goose bumps talking about it all the printing and so much pride. we just have a bond i've never had with another dog before, and i've always called him my ride or die. who was crowned this year's top dog. and beyonce is back the break my soul singer kicking off for world tour a renaissance seven years in the making. nightline will be right back. type two diabetes. i want to keep it real and talk about some risks. with type two diabetes, you have up to four times greater risk of stroke, heart attack or death. even at your a one c go, you're still at risk, which, if ignored to bring you here. may put you on one of those, or even worse. too much. that's the point. get real about your risks and do something
12:40 am
good evening. thank you for joining us. we begin tonight with congressman jorge santos indicted the first term republican who's short political rear has been checkered with falsehoods is free tonight and a half million dollar bond. he entered a not guilty plea in federal court, then stepped before the cameras to insist he is the victim of a lie. abc senior congressional correspondent rachel scott was there. your in front of me, representative jorge santos combative today outside a long island courthouse campaign donations and use that money to buy expensive suits. no, i did not just seven months after being elected to office congressman now facing 13
12:41 am
federal charges he has pleaded not guilty.o t attle i'm going to deliver. i'm going to fight the witch and i'm going to take care of clearing my name, and i look forward to doing that. this is not a typical washington scandal. we're used to having people that make things up to fabulous or just people that have lied or inflated the resume. this is next level. many of his constituents in new york frustrated he didn't run for the right reasons. he's not there to represent us and he can't represent us. think it's about time. he's been lying about pretty much everything is facing up to 20 years in jail. oh, for the maximum charge he's facing. the 13 charges are all related to three alleged schemes detailed in the 20 page indictment. george sandoz is charged with wire fraud, theft of public funds lying to congress. three different transaction or unlawful transactions of over $10,000 and fraudulent unemployment benefits . one of the charges stemming from allegations of unemployment fraud, which i asked him about
12:42 am
earlier today, why would you apply for unemployment benefits when you had a job making pa of my defense. this is inaccurate information, and i will get to clear my name on this during the pandemic. it wasn't very clear. i don't understand where the government's getting their information. for now, santos seems defiant. are you planning on running for reelection? speaker kevin mccarthy showed no sign he would support the embattled congressman in future elections. you're not okay, so you guys we work to try to defeat him in the primary. okay? santos has a lot going i think i think he has other things to focus on his life and running for school, but stopped short of saying if he would work to remove him from office. meanwhile santos is opponent in last year's congressional race. robert zimmerman has spent months urging republicans to do just that. it is really speaking mccaughey the republican leadership obligation now to remove when i call upon them to do that. mccarthy's failure to
12:43 am
take action to remove jorge santos. actually makes him and the republicans in congress, accomplices to his crimes, losing even one vote right now, for house republicans could be devastating. they have such a narrow margin right now that every vote literally does count, so they're not keen to lose anybody. but i do think there's a growing sentiment that that santos is just not worth the risks or the or further the political downside that's associated with him in the web of lies. santos ran on the promise that anyone could succeed in our country and as your congressman pledged to protect the american dream for all young, gay brazilian american republican seen by some as what could be the future of the party, but it turned down his resume was littered with false claims from the schools. he says he attended the prestigious horsemen high school. new york university. he said he was a top volleyball player at baruch college. the kicker, he never even went to
12:44 am
his work history. citigroup goldman sachs, which even testified to under oath, none of it true. he also falsely linked himself to various tragedies and identities have seen how socialism destroys people's lives because my grandparents survived the holocaust jews trust me, yeah, attempted to clarify to fog. snoozes connection to judaism. my heritage is jewish. i've always identified as jewish. i was raised a practicing catholic. i've always joked with friends and circles. even with in the campaign, i'd say, guys, i'm jew ish. he sent his mom died from complications caused by 9 11 when she wasn't even in the us at the time of the attacks, his falsehoods works posed santos and interview after interview holding his ground. my question is, do you have no shame? i'm not a fraud. i'm not a fake. i didn't materialize from thin air. i worked hard to get where i got my entire life, and it's
12:45 am
not just constituents, colleagues and donors who say that congressman santos has lied to them. how would you describe jorge santos? is a compulsive liar. ah! compulsive isn't even the word. it's i think he needs a lie more than he needs to breathe. navy veteran richard austin says he never thought he would fall victim to a con artist. he spent eight years in the navy working on fighter planes. it was his dream job. i lived to put that uniform on in the morning and to go to work and work on my airplanes. that was all i wanted to do. struggles with depression caused him to be honorably discharged and fall into homelessness. during that time, he leaned on his little red pit bull named sapphire. then richard noticed a mass growing rapidly on sapphires belly. veterinarian had bad news. he wanted the money up front. for the surgery, said $3000 to do it like, how am i going to come up with this
12:46 am
money now? you know, told him about a man who ran a charity called friends of pets, united said. hey, look, i'll take your picture will take sapphires picture. um and i'll talk to this guy anthony that i know anthony devolder and he'll set up a go fund me, he says the online fundraiser was a success. but richard says the money that could have saved sapphires life never came through and the pit bull died three months later, $3000 was raised 1000 was raised . did you ever see a penny of not at all? no none. all i saw was heartbreak and frustration. that was all he gave me. richard says when he raised concerns with the boulder boulder became defensive, saying in one message. i'm a well known in public person. i've done rescues for many years and have a very reputable name for myself, richt anthony's full name was actually george anthony, the boulder santos a source close to the go fund. me situation confirmed to
12:47 am
abc news that it was jorge santos, who ran the account to help sapphire. have no floor news. asked jorge santos if he remembered richard, i want to show you this video. we have a reporter from our team that asked him about you and asked him about this go fund me. just want you to watch this video. do you remember the gentleman who claims that you took money. claimed he never met me and i never met him. found the wreck. for him to not be embarrassed by any of it to be laughing and smiling and joking around like it's all just nothing. just being so nonchalant about it. it's disgusting. it's so strange and surreal. who is george santos? nobody knows. now santos is facing up to 20 years in prison if he is convicted of the alleged financial crimes, but he's undeterred. ooy i loo le of yes if anks to ch uputng
