Rep. George Santos, the embattled Republican congressman from New York, is under fire for allegations that he stole thousands meant to pay for life-saving surgery for a homeless veteran's dying service dog. GoFundMe confirmed to CBS News it blocked the email associated with the fundraiser in 2016.
Santos has denied the claims.
Richard Osthoff, a U.S. Navy veteran, says that Santos posed as the owner of a pet charity under the alias Anthony Devolder. Osthoff told Patch that he was living in a chicken coop on the side of a New Jersey highway in 2016 when his service dog, Sapphire, developed a life-threatening stomach tumor.

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
