Two top Long Island Republicans are calling on the House Ethics Committee to investigate incoming Rep. George Santos a day after he admitted that he had lied about his educational background and work experience.

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman and incoming Rep. Nick LaLota (R-Bay Shore) each told Newsday that congressional investigators should look into Santos’ record, which has come into question after a New York Times investigation found a number of holes in the biography he touted on the campaign trail.
