Newly elected Republican congressman George Santos has apologised after admitting he lied about his education and work experience.

Mr Santos, who was elected in New York , told: " My sins here are embellishing my resume. I'm sorry. "

He insisted he was " not a criminal" and said that the controversy would not deter him from serving his two-year term in Congress .

The allegation was first made in a report last week.

At The Time , a lawyer for Mr Santos hit back at the claims that he misrepresented where he went to college and his alleged employment history, describing them as " defamatory" and a " shotgun blast of attacks".

He Said during his campaign that he had worked at high-profile Wall Street firms Goldman Sachs and Citigroup.

But Mr Santos told the New York Post he had " never worked directly" for either firm, admitting it was a " poor choice of words".

The 34-year-old said he actually worked at a company called Link Bridge, as a vice-president, where he did business with both of the financial giants.

He also admitted that he did not go to college, despite previously claiming to have received a degree from New York City's Baruch College in 2010.

" I didn't graduate from any institution of Higher Learning . I'm embarrassed and sorry for having embellished my resume, " He Said . " I own up to that… We do stupid things in life. "

Mr Santos, who was elected to Congress on 8 November to represent part of Long Island and Queens, took a seat from the Democrats as The Republicans triumphed overall with a slim majority in The House of Representatives, Congress 's lower chamber.

His Democratic opponent, Robert Zimmerman , tweeted that Mr Santos had admitted to being a liar and said he must be Held Accountable by The Department of Justice for his actions.

Mr Santos told the New York Post: " I campaigned talking about The People 's concerns, not my resume. . I intend to deliver on the promises I made during The Campaign . "

As things stand, he is set to be Sworn In on 3 January, along with the rest of the incoming class of Congress .
