The New York Attorney General’s Office said it is “looking into a number of issues" surrounding Congressman-elect George Santos, who was the subject of a bombshell New York Times investigation that questions whether the incoming Republican lawmaker fabricated much of his biography, including his education, work history and financial dealings. The office, however, did not confirm whether it had opened an official investigation into Santos and declined to comment further on the matter. A lawyer for Santos, Joe Murray, told NBC News in an email Thursday afternoon that he had "not been contacted by anyone" from the New York Attorney General's Office. Monday evening, Santos posted a statement on Twitter from his attorney dismissing the Times' report. Santos' competitor in the November election, Democrat Robert Zimmerman, said members of both parties "should be grateful" that the state's attorney general is looking into Santos.

Democrats called for an investigation into apparent discrepancies in the biography of George Santos , a Republican elected last month to represent part of Long Island, N.Y., in the House of Representatives, with some saying he shouldn’t be seated when the new Congress is sworn in next month. Mr. Santos, 34 years old, said during the campaign that he graduated from Baruch College in Manhattan and worked at financial-service firms including Goldman Sachs Group Inc. and Citigroup Inc. before making an earlier bid for Congress in 2020. A Baruch College spokesperson found no match for a student with Mr. Santos’s name and graduation date. Representatives of Citigroup and Goldman said they had no record of his employment there.

Santos, 34, was elected to represent New York’s 3rd Congressional District, beating Democrat Robert Zimmerman last month. Representatives for Citigroup and Goldman Sachs told NBC New York they had no record of his employment. In a statement Monday, Santos’ lawyer, Joseph Murray, dismissed the story, insisting that Santos was being smeared by "enemies" at the paper, and suggesting that Santos, posed a threat to Democrats. "It is no surprise that Congressman-elect Santos has enemies at the New York Times who are attempting to smear his good name with these defamatory allegations. The upset means Santos will succeed Democrat Tom Suozzi, who lost a primary bid for governor this year.

Take Blackstone, which recently expanded a data tool it originally built for its real-estate business to be used across its PE portfolio. As recently as just a few years ago, PE firms were just starting to warm to the idea of building out data-science teams. But that tech has been a hard sell for PE firms as well, until recently. Many PE firms are just now waking up to the possibilities of the public cloud. To be fair to PE firms, figuring out how to incorporate data analysis into the investing process is no easy task.

☆ Who Is Rep.-Elect George Santos? His Résumé May Be Largely Fiction.

George Santos, whose election to Congress on Long Island last month helped Republicans clinch a narrow majority in the House of Representatives, built his candidacy on the notion that he was the “full embodiment of the American dream” and was running to safeguard it for others. His campaign biography amplified his storybook journey: He is the son of Brazilian immigrants, and the first openly gay Republican to win a House seat as a non-incumbent. But a New York Times review of public documents and court filings from the United States and Brazil, as well as various attempts to verify claims that Mr. Santos, 34, made on the campaign trail, calls into question key parts of the résumé that he sold to voters. Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, the marquee Wall Street firms on Mr. Santos’s campaign biography, told The Times they had no record of his ever working there. Officials at Baruch College, which Mr. Santos has said he graduated from in 2010, could find no record of anyone matching his name and date of birth graduating that year.

Long Island Republican George Santos has been accused of fabricating his biography. In a statement Monday night, Santos's attorney quoted Winston Churchill. The statement posted on George Santos' Twitter account attributes a Victor Hugo quote to Winston Churchill. It goes on to quote the former Conservative UK prime minister who led Britain during World War II: "As Winston Churchill famously stated, 'You have enemies?

An incoming GOP congressman from Long Island has several gaps in his resume, according to a NYT report. He appears to have lied about his employment history, his college degree, and possibly his residence. He also claimed to have lost four employees in the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting. And according to a New York Times investigation, he may have a historically large amount of questions to answer about his resume. But representatives from the school told the Times they had no record of his enrollment, despite searching multiple variations of his name.

Investor Bill Baruch said he likes Rockwell Automation as sticky wages further increase employers' interest in trimming labor costs. "Let's talk about a stock expecting double-digit earnings growth in 2023," said Baruch. Average hourly wages jumped 0.6% from the prior month, and they climbed 5.1% from a year ago, also exceeding analyst expectations. Meanwhile, the industrial automation company narrowly beat analyst expectations for per-share earnings and revenue in its fiscal fourth quarter, according to FactSet. Baruch isn't the only one taking note of the stock – but not necessarily for the same reason.

HILLTOP, West Bank, Nov 7 (Reuters) - High atop a rocky hill in the occupied West Bank, Israeli settlers exhilarated by a resounding right-wing election triumph surveyed a landscape dotted with Palestinian villages, scouting new spots to put down roots. But among ideological settlers who see themselves as pioneers redeeming Biblical heartland promised by God, hopes are already high for budgets, construction and infrastructure to keep their enterprise thriving. "I sense a chill down my spine coming back to the very places where my ancestors lived," said Baruch Gordon from the settlement of Bet El, where Religious Zionism election banners dot the streets. More than 450,000 people, or less than 5% of Israel's population, are Jewish settlers in the West Bank, home to about 3 million Palestinians who exercise limited self-rule there. About 80% of Bet El's votes went to Religious Zionism, data from the Knesset's election committee showed, and almost 10% to Netanyahu's Likud.

MEXICO CITY, Oct 17 (Reuters) - As monkeypox continues to impact gay and bisexual men in dozens of countries around the world, at-risk Mexicans are going abroad for vaccines they say their government has not bothered to make available at home. Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com RegisterHerbel, 38, said he wanted the vaccine because half of his friends currently have or have had monkeypox. Mexico City resident Juan David Zuluaga, 32, flew to Tijuana last week to get vaccinated across the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego. Mexico's government has reported 2,147 confirmed cases of monkeypox since May, a number advocates in the gay community say far undercounts cases. "Those with visas and money will get vaccinated and those without will have to resign themselves to eventually getting monkeypox," Baruch said.
