A New York Times report claims a federal prosecutor and LGBTQ activist has submitted a letter to ethics watchdogs in the House of Representatives questioning whether Congressman George Santos' seven-year marriage was all a scheme to get his wife U.S. citizenship.

This comes after the lawyer went through several news reports and says he discovered that Santos and his ex-wife from Brazil lived separate lives as he dated men throughout the marriage.

Immigration officials haven't mentioned the marriage raising any red flags. It is currently unclear whether the Office of Congressional Ethics or the bipartisan Committee on Ethics would investigate the marriage.

However, if officials find that Santos entered the marriage to get citizenship for his wife, he could face up to five years behind prison and his former wife could be deported.
