Several freshmen members who were elected to Congress<\/a> erroneously shared press releases on their official websites that said they were sworn in on Tuesday by the House Speaker, but no such swearing-in ceremonies happened after the chamber failed to elect a candidate.<\/p>\n

“U.S. Representative George Santos was sworn in as a Member of the United States House of Representatives<\/a> by the Speaker of the House on January 3rd, 2023,” a post read on the website of Rep.-elect George Santos, R-New York, and other new freshman members. “Representative George Santos was added to the rolls of the House upon executing the oath of office.”<\/p>\n

The erroneous posts were made just hours after House members voted three times \u2014 each failing \u2014 to choose Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., Hakeem Jefferies, D-N.Y., Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, or another candidate during their first session Tuesday.<\/p>\n

A Speaker must be the first act of a new session of Congress. With 20 Republicans defecting from backing McCarthy, no candidate received the 218-vote threshold to be the next Speaker.<\/p>\n

Despite the failed votes, the press releases were posted on several official House.gov websites. They have since been revised.<\/p>\n

“The 118th class of new Members stands ready for the new Congress,” Santos\u2019 new press release reads.<\/p>\n

It erroneously adds: “The newest Members of Congress are sworn in on January 3rd, 2023 when the First Session of the 118th United States Congress convenes.”<\/p>\n

No ceremonies were held on Tuesday, Jan. 3, but members have a chance to officially be sworn in on Wednesday, Jan. 4, when the House convenes again to elect a Speaker.<\/p>\n

THE VOTE FOR HOUSE SPEAKER<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The press releases about members being sworn in were pre-written and made available for members-elect on their house.gov sites through House administrative services.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is not immediately clear if the post was added automatically or if the staff was notified when they were posted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The false information created a particularly eye-catching issue for Santos.<\/p>\n

Prior to his successful campaign to flip his Long Island congressional district for Republicans<\/a> in November, Santos admitted to speaking falsely about both his work experience and his education.<\/p>\n

He is subsequently embroiled in multiple local, federal and international investigations regarding these allegations of fraud and fabricating his past.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During his congressional campaign, he falsely claimed to have graduated from college with degrees<\/a> in finance and worked for Goldman Sachs and Citibank. He also apparently lied about owning several mansions.<\/p>\n

Last week, Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly announced an investigation into Santos.<\/p>\n

“The numerous fabrications and inconsistencies associated with Congressman-Elect Santos are nothing short of stunning,” Donnelly said in a statement. “The residents of Nassau County and other parts of the third district must have an honest and accountable representative in Congress. No one is above the law and if a crime was committed in this county, we will prosecute it.”<\/p>\n

Some Republicans said Santos should “consider” resigning while multiple House Democrats demanded Santos resign over the revelations.<\/p>\n

Santos is also facing scrutiny from the FEC over his campaign spending.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Santos has admitted to “r\u00e9sum\u00e9 embellishment” \u2014 to which he said he was “sorry” \u2014 but has denied any criminal wrongdoing.<\/a><\/p>\n

During the first session of Congress, as new members socialized and mingled, Santos was spotted sitting alone toward the back of the chamber by himself, using his phone.<\/p>\n
