George Santos in Plea Deal Talks with Prosecutors: Scared of Jail

Former New York Representative George Santos is reportedly engaged in plea negotiations with federal prosecutors to potentially resolve his pending criminal fraud case. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn disclosed this information in a court filing, stating that the parties aim to reach a resolution without going to trial. Santos, who was expelled from Congress in December, is facing charges of wire fraud, identity theft, and making false statements. His trial is currently scheduled for September, but prosecutors have requested an earlier start in May or June.
