>> reporter: embattled new york republican george santos has long claimed his mother was present at the world trade center on 9/11. >> she was in the south tower, and she made it out. she got caught in the ash. my mom fought cancer to her death. >> reporter: but newly uncovered immigration records obtained by cnn appear to contradict his repeated claim. the records indicate santos' mother said she was in brazil between 1999 and 2003 and not in new york city during the terrorist attacks in 2001. santos has refused calls to step down from congress even as he faces mounting legal issues and a steady stream of revelations that contradict claims he's made about his personal background. santos is also facing accusations he promised to raise funds for lifesaving surgery for a veterans dog only to take off with the money. >> i gave him my bank account

risky standoff as the u.s. reaches its $31.4 trillion borrowing limit. the white house and congressional democrats say no negotiations to raise the debt ceiling and no conditions attached. speaker kevin mccarthy says the opposite. >> i don't see why you would continue the past behavior. well, no, i mean -- well, we're six months away. why wouldn't you sit down now and change this behavior that we would put ourselves on a more fiscally strong position. >> reporter: congress likely has until june to avoid default and allow the u.s. to pay bills already incurred. that has happened 61 times since 1978 including three times under president trump with little gop pushback. but to win the speakership on the 15th ballot mccarthy cut a deal with the hard right that the house would not raise the debt ceiling without comenseerate fiscal reforms, also agreeing to allow any one

house speaker kevin mccarthy calling on him to pressure santos to resign. mccarthy has long suggested santos will be treated like any other member of the house and should be aforded due process noting he's not been charged with any crime. santos will likely continue to face questions when lawmakers return to washington next week. >> eva, thank you very, very much. can't make this kind of stuff up. let's get some reaction from democratic congressman adam schiff of california. thanks for joining us. as the lies mount, it certainly looks like top house republicans still aren't budging on congressman santos. do you see any way to get him out of congress? >> well, you know, they're not going to be shamed into doing it because of course this is a party and a leadership still of donald trump who spread, you know, thousands and thousands of lies as president. so santos is very emblematic of that anti-truth trend within the gop. but because mccarthy is so

over and over again, and you're going to get a pass. no early morning raid on hunter biden or joe biden. that will probably never happen despite the prima facie case against him. and if you're joe biden, you can leverage one billion taxpayer dollars to get a ukrainian prosecutor fired investing your crack addicted son who was making millions of dollars and he had no experience with ukraine oil, energy, gas, whatsoever. nothing's going to happen. on the other hand, if you are a conservative, watch out. if you're roger stone, you commit a process fine, you lied to congress, you're going to get a massive predawn raid, guns drawn frog men in the water complete with fake news cnn cameras tipped off to be there at 5:45 in the morning and film it all. if you're paul manafort and you commit a fair a violation or tax violation, again hardly crimes dangerous to society, another massive predawn raid, guns pointed at your face, your wife's face, followed by months of solitary confinement to break you.

by the way, his new book out, you should read it, it's called political prisoner, it's out by the way tomorrow, paul manafort will be on the show tomorrow, you need to read that book. if you're peter navarro you get charged with a misdemeanor and get shackled at the airport for a misdemeanor handcuffed thrown in jail the same cell john hinkley was thrown in the guy who tried to assassinate ronald reagan. now the 45th president of the united states has been targeted by an early i didn't have morning raid and not only did agents show up in force, guns drawn, to the former president's home but also demanded that the security cameras be turned off and they even blocked the president's attorneys from observing the search. now why would they do that? how many years have we fought for bodycams on police to keep everybody honest? why wouldn't you want the surveillance cameras kept on? anything you're hiding. tonight congress has a duty to hold the fbi and the department of justice, those people at the top levels accountable. instead, top democrats in the

warrant was already remarkably broad, can basically go in and get anything that looked like a presidential record, to then collect something like a passport which most agents can recognize quickly, or privileged documents, raised concerns amongst career fbi officials. you will see some quoted in my story tomorrow, about just how this raid was conducted and the sort of lack of precision that was carried out during this raid. >> sean: you know, john, i'm looking at all this and you and i covered this whole story about corruption at the upper levels of the fbi. director wray was supposed to clean it up. why didn't he? >> great question, right? i think a lot of people i talk to say if you don't have accountability for the people who did it before, you never clean up the system that comes after it. the temptation to do these things, to go overly broad, to cheat on a warrant or to mislead a court or mislead congress, is high because really no one paid a terrible penalty for what
