George Santos charged by Justice Department in federal investigation: Report
Santos's exact charges are currently unknown as they are under seal, but the representative is expected to appear in federal court in New York as early as Wednesday and could be arrested tomorrow, per multiple outlets. This is the latest step in a series of state and federal investigations into the representative.
"This is news to me,” he said in a brief phone interview with Associated Press. “You’re the first to call me about this.""I'll look at the charges," McCarthy, who has been asked previously whether congressional, federal, or state investigations will affect Santos's future in the House, said. Santos announced his reelection bid on April 17 despite several Democrats, as well as New York Republicans, calling on Santos to resign from Congress.
During his time in office, Santos has been accused of breaking campaign finance laws, violating federal conflict of interest laws, and lying about where he attended school and worked before launching his 2022 campaign. The House Ethics Committee launched an investigation into Santos in March.The representative admitted to some resume fabrications but continues to deny more serious accusations, including one involving the sexual harassment of an ex-staffer.
