A CNN interview with Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., became a bit of a roller coaster when the Republican lawmaker was confronted about past lies and reports of a settlement to avoid charges in Brazil. Numerous outlets, including CNN, reported Santos agreed to pay the victim of his alleged crimes to avoid criminal charges. When Burnett referenced this deal during her interview, Santos balked and asked for "receipts," accusing the anchor not being properly "prepared" to speak to him. You’re not prepared," Santos said. Burnett later circled back to the Brazil charges, and Santos said he wouldn't engage.
