George Santos to Plead Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges

The former congressman faces multiple counts of fraud, identity theft, and money laundering, ending a nearly two-year legal saga.

Santos is expected to plead guilty to several charges in a federal court on Long Island.
He was indicted on 23 counts including wire fraud, money laundering, and theft of public funds.
Santos' legal troubles began shortly after his election in 2022, following revelations about his fabricated resume.
The House Ethics Committee found substantial evidence of his crimes, leading to his expulsion from Congress.
Santos' plea deal could potentially reduce his prison sentence, which could have been up to 22 years if convicted on all counts.
