George Santos is accused of lying to Congress about his wealth, falsely applying for unemployment benefits he didn't deserve, and scheming to use campaign contributions to pay for personal expenses like designer clothing.
U.S. Rep. George Santos was arraigned on a revised indictment accusing him of several frauds, including making tens of thousands of dollars in unauthorized charges on credit cards belonging to his campaign donors.
A trial date was set for Sept. 9, 2024 and the prosecution asked for a speedy trial, citing public interest. It could last a minimum of three weeks., making purchases on the credit cards of his donors and lying to the House of Representatives. Rep. Anthony D'Esposito, of New York, introduced a resolution on Thursday evening to expel Santos from Congress. He was joined by four other New York Republicans, U.S. Reps. Nick LaLota, Michael Lawler, Marc Molinaro and Brandon Williams.He introduced the resolution as privileged, which means the House must consider it within two legislative days. The House could vote on the resolution as early as next week.
Santos was initially arrested in May on a 13-count federal indictment, which charged him with using funds earmarked for campaign expenses on designer clothes and other personal expenses and improperly obtaining unemployment benefits meant for Americans who lost work because of the pandemic.
