SaysWho? Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 George Santos to plead guilty to federal charges Monday, sources say | CNN Politics WWW.CNN.COM Former Republican Rep. George Santos is expected to plead guilty Monday to federal charges relating to fraudulent activity in his 2022 House campaign, according to sources familiar with the deal, just weeks before his federal trial is set to begin. Quote The expected plea would mark an end to the nearly two-year saga that saw Santos lie about his resume as he sought election to New York’s 3rd Congressional District. He won the seat but was ultimately charged with 23 federal counts and was dramatically expelled from Congress last year. Santos, who previously pleaded not guilty to all 23 charges, is set for a pretrial conference Monday in front of US District Judge Joanna Seybert in the Eastern District of New York. Jury selection in Santos’ trial was set to begin September 9 in the Long Island court, but on Friday, prosecutors filed a joint request with Santos’ attorneys asking for an in-person conference the following Monday. Prosecutors, in two batches of charges last year, alleged Santos committed fraud related to Covid-19 unemployment benefits, misused campaign funds and lied about his personal finances on House disclosure reports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Super Bowl ring he can give to Putin for safe keeping. The medals I am sure he has already chucked those into the Potomac out of protest.

CastletonSnob Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 George Santos? The only person ever to win a Stanley Cup, a Super Bowl, an NBA Championship, AND a World Series, all in the same year? The guy who won world titles in boxing, from Flyweight to Heavyweight? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
