Former Congressman George Santos is anticipated to plead guilty to charges related to campaign fraud on Monday, marking a significant development in the ongoing investigation into his political activities.
Santos, who previously represented New York’s 3rd Congressional District, faces accusations of misusing campaign funds for personal expenses, including luxury goods and services.
The charges stem from an extensive probe by federal authorities into Santos’ campaign finances during his 2022 congressional run.
According to reports, the former congressman is alleged to have diverted substantial amounts of money from his campaign account to fund a lavish lifestyle, raising questions about his integrity and ethical conduct.
The plea deal, if accepted, could result in Santos facing reduced penalties in exchange for his admission of guilt.
This case has drawn widespread attention, given Santos’ controversial tenure in Congress, which was marred by multiple scandals.
