Rep. George Santos Faces Multiple Fraud and Theft Charges, Including Campaign Finance Fraud

Republican Rep. George Santos of New York has pleaded not guilty to new criminal wire fraud and identity theft charges, which were added to his ongoing federal theft and money laundering case. The charges include submitting false campaign finance reports and charging his campaign donors' credit cards without their permission. Santos' trial is scheduled for September 2024, just two months before he is expected to face voters in New York's 3rd congressional district. Despite calls for his resignation, Santos has vowed to remain in office.
