Suggestion for a WikiTree Challenge Person

There is an interesting news article today about George Santos, a newly elected Congressman.  It claims he lied about his genealogy, making false claims that his ancestors were Holocaust survivors and had earlier escaped Russian persecution in Ukraine.  Apparently several genealogists have found otherwise.  I thought he would make an interesting subject for a WikiTree Challenge.

News about him has been rather unflattering, in fact there have been calls for his resignation.
That article is clearly unflattering to him, but I didn't know about calls for his resignation.  The article pointed out that several professional genealogists had researched his background and found his statements to be untrue, so I was thinking that it's WikiTree's chance to shine and find out more than all the pros did, giving us some good publicity in the process.

This is part of a post from the Long Island Press:

”Republican Congressman-elect George Santos has yet to attempt to refute allegations that he fabricated much of his resume as calls for his resignation and an investigation continue to grow.“
