Another imposter scam hits Capitol Hill
The impostor contacted to Rep. Eric Burlison (R-Missouri) and disgraced New York GOP congressman George Santos via the popular messaging app Telegram and directed them to install a special 'Phoner App' so more information could be shared with them about the alleged project, according to both Burlison and Santos.

Lying ex-Rep. George Santos admits his chin is fake — as he shares his biggest fear about prison ahead of 87-month sentence
WASHINGTON — Even his chin is fake! George Santos — the onetime Brazilian drag queen-turned-politician-turned-convicted liar — revealed his biggest fear about reporting to prison Friday to start his 87-month stint behind bars. The bloviating former Long Island Republican congressman admitted that he's had so much work done on his face that it's currently about 30% 'filler' — which is likely to 'migrate' during his up to 87 months behind bars. 3 Former Rep. George Santos says his face is approximately '30% filler' and it's likely to 'migrate' in prison. Brian Zak/Page Six 'I've done A to Z. I have jaw fillers. I have an actual fake chin implant for elongation purposes. I have in my face, I think at this point, like 30% filler — the migration is a real bitch, so you've got to compensate all the time,' Santos, 37, said on the 'Sources Say' podcast. Santos said he usually gets Botox as well but has taken a break, gasping: 'What am I gonna freeze my face for? F–king inmates?' The ex-rep — expelled from Congress in 2023 and reporting to the clink for fraud and identity theft — is worried about how prison will take a toll on his appearance. 'There's a reason [recently pardoned celebrity tax evader Todd] Chrisley only showed up the next day with a couple of bruises on his face — because he got freshed up, freshened up,' said Santos, who similarly is pleading for clemency from President Trump. 'You know he left prison, went straight to his esthetician, then to Nordstrom shopping so he can do that press conference the very next day.' Santos' full discussion on 'Sources Say' will be released Wednesday afternoon. 3 Santos said he believes recently released celebrity Todd Chrisley, right, got 'freshened up' after prison. Fox News / My View 3 Santos says he didn't get Botox before his 87-month sentence and will not willingly have sex with other inmates. AP The disgraced politician has been making the rounds and tweeting a storm as he prepares for the penitentiary. 'I'm heading to prison, folks and I need you to hear this loud and clear: I'm not suicidal,' he tweeted this month. 'I'm not depressed. I have no intentions of harming myself, and I will not willingly engage in any sexual activity while I'm in there.'

Trump Pulls $4.9 Billion in Financing for Contested Power Line
The Trump administration is canceling $4.9 billion in federal financing for a US transmission project that's faced backlash from Republican lawmakers over ties to wind energy. Financing for the high-voltage transmission line, which would span from Kansas to Missouri, was initially offered under President Joe Biden. The Energy Department said that the conditional commitment made in November for the Grain Belt Express LLC project was 'rushed out the door in the final days of the Biden administration.'
