Rep. George Santos Faces Federal Indictment for Fraud, Theft Amid History of Lies

Prosecutors charge George Santos with fraudulently receiving unemployment benefits, defrauding campaign donors, and lying on financial disclosure forms.
Calls for Santos' resignation have been ignored as he continues his reelection bid, though support from Republican leadership wavers.
Santos settled 14-year-old charges in Brazil for using stolen checks to buy a pair of shoes.
The House voted to crack down on the type of unemployment fraud Santos is accused of committing the day after his indictment.
Santos' fabrications and legal troubles stretch back decades but did not prevent his election to Congress.
