Rep. George Santos indicted on new federal charges, including credit card fraud and identity theft
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.
