Since the day George Santos announced his bid for a seat in Congress, much of what he’s said about his life and career has proven to be false. So, who is George Santos?

In CAMPAIGN OF DECEIT: THE ELECTION OF GEORGE SANTOS, a new documentary premiering tonight at 8:00 PM, ET on the CBS News Streaming Network, CBS Reports and the CBS News Investigative unit, along with CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns, follow Santos’ unlikely path from a basement in Queens to seaside Brazil to Long Island’s wealthiest suburbs – unwinding a campaign of deceit that delivered him from humble beginnings to the halls of power in Washington. In the pursuit of a more complete picture of who Santos is, Huey-Burns interviewed former friends and acquaintances of Santos who said they had been burned by his falsehoods and betrayals.
