Meanwhile, a group of New York Republicans is introducing a resolution to boot him from Congress.
With everything going on in the world, you might have forgotten that there was a Republican representative in Congress — let’s call him George Santos — who made up approximately 97% of his biography on the campaign trail and, in May, was charged with 13 federal counts, including wire fraud, money laundering, false statements made to the House of Representatives, and stealing public funds.
Not surprisingly, given how Santos has approached previous allegations made against him, he 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.” Also, it seems he tried to blame everything he’s been accused of on former campaign treasurer Nancy Marks, who pled guilty to charges of conspiracy last week. “I had no control over specifically campaign finances,' Santos said.
