DOJ files federal charges against Rep. George Santos in criminal probe.

Republican U.S. Congressman George Santos, who admitted to lying about his resume, is expected to face federal charges in New York's Eastern District. The exact nature of the charges is not yet clear, but federal prosecutors have been examining false statement allegations in Santos' campaign filings. Santos was elected in November 2022 in a wealthy district of New York's Long Island, but his life story was called into question by media outlets in December. The U.S. House of Representatives Ethics Committee launched a probe in March, looking at a variety of concerns, including whether Santos engaged in illegal activity over his 2022 campaign.
