George Santos Rages Against Indictment
Embattled Republican Congressman George Santos has vowed to defeat a litany of charges issued as part of a new 13-count indictment, calling himself the victim of a “witch hunt” during a tumultuous press conference outside a courthouse in Central Islip, New York.
The charges filed by the U.S. Attorney’s office in the Eastern District of New York against him are seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.
Santos was elected in November and almost instantly drew attention when multiple stories came out about his personal and professional past, swiftly changing the minds of his district’s voters and leading to calls for resignations.
The first-term Republican initially described his lies as “embellishments,” among them not graduating from college, not working for Goldman Sachs, not owning 13 properties, and misrepresenting a Jewish heritage.
