George Santos Expected to Plead Guilty in Federal Fraud Case

The former congressman faces 23 felony charges related to campaign finance fraud, identity theft, and other crimes.

  • Santos was expelled from Congress in December 2023 following a damning ethics report.
  • He allegedly used donor money for personal expenses, including luxury items and trips.
  • The plea deal would eliminate the need for a September trial, which was set to begin jury selection soon.
  • Two of Santos' associates have already pleaded guilty to charges related to his campaign.
  • The exact terms of the plea deal and potential sentencing remain unclear.
