Meanwhile, a group of New York Republicans are introducing a resolution to boot him from Congress.
With everything going on in the world, you might have forgotten that there’s a Republican representative in Congress—let’s call him George Santos—who made up approximately 97% of his biography on the campaign trail and was charged with 13 federal counts in May, including wire fraud, money laundering, false statements to the House of Representatives, and stealing public funds.
Not surprisingly, given how he’s approached previous allegations against him, Santos has denied everything, telling reporters: “I will fight this to prove my innocence. So yeah, I’m pretty much denying every last bit of charges.” He also seemingly tried to blame everything he’s been accused of on former campaign treasurer Nancy Marks, who pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy last week. “I had no control over specifically campaign finances. I’ve made this abundantly clear,” he said.
