Congressman George Santos denies new federal charges of credit card fraud, aggravated identity theft, and conspiracy, stating that he will fight the charges. Santos claims he did not know the identity of the donors and refuses to make them whole, as it would imply guilt. He blames the ex-treasurer of his campaign for fraudulent reporting and denies any knowledge of lying to the Federal Election Commission. Santos plans to support Rep. Jim Jordan and has no intention of resigning despite calls for his expulsion.

"Rep. George Santos: Facing Expanded Charges of Fraud, Conspiracy, and Identity Theft"

Representative George Santos, a first-term Republican congressman from New York, is facing new charges in a superseding indictment that includes 10 additional felony counts. The charges accuse Santos of stealing the identities and credit cards of campaign donors, charging their cards without authorization, and distributing the funds to his own campaign, other candidates' campaigns, and his personal bank account. The indictment also alleges conspiracy, wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, access device fraud, false statements to the Federal Election Commission, and falsifying records. Santos' campaign treasurer, Nancy Marks, recently pleaded guilty to conspiracy to defraud the United States and admitted to her role in fraudulently reporting a fictional $500,000 loan to Santos' campaign. Santos has pleaded not guilty to the previous charges and is seeking re-election in 2024.
