$4 has been accused of telling $4 after a local lawmaker said the embattled congressman twisted the truth about why he visited Santos at his office.
On Thursday, Santos $4 that he wanted to personally thank Josh Lafazan, a member of the Nassau County Legislature in New York, for "stopping by" his office in Douglaston, Queens, for a chat.
"It was great to sit down & discuss the concerns that were addressed in the letter he brought in," Santos wrote.
But just 50 minutes later, Lafazan $4, accusing Santos of mischaracterizing the nature of the meeting, which he said was actually a protest.
"Let's be very clear: I did not 'stop by' your office," Lafazon wrote. "I hosted a protest *outside* your office calling on you to resign, and then hand-delivered you a letter to stop wasting police resources."
The local lawmaker said that the lie did not come as a surprise, adding that he believed Santos is "very good" at distorting the truth.
The congressman's office did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
