The Hill reached out for comment as well.<\/p>\n<p>After a New York Times article called into question much of his r\u00e9sum\u00e9, Santos admitted last week that he lied about his educational and professional background on the campaign trail.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite claiming to have graduated from Baruch College and worked for Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, Santos told the New York Post in an interview that he did not graduate from any college or university and never worked directly for the two firms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Santos also made misleading statements about his heritage, previously claiming he was Jewish and that his grandparents fled Nazi persecution in Europe during World War II. He later walked back these claims when speaking with the Post.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never claimed to be Jewish,\u201d Santos said. \u201cI am Catholic. Because I learned my maternal family had a Jewish background I said I was \u2018Jew-ish.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fellow New York congressman Rep.
