CENTRAL ISLIP, NY – A 23-count superseding indictment was filed today in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York, charging George Anthony Devolder Santos, better known as “George Santos,” the United States Representative for the Third District of New York, with one count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States, two counts of wire fraud, two counts of making materially false statements to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), two counts of falsifying records submitted to obstruct the FEC, two counts of aggravated identity theft, and one count of access device fraud.
These are additional charges, and likely based on cooperation/testimony as part of an agreement with the campaign treasurer that pleaded guilty last week.
I guess a lot of the people involved suddenly have a bunch of free time on their hands to invest in this with there being no Speaker….
