 George Santos, the U.S. Representative from Long Island was arrested this morning on federal criminal charges. The Justice Department is charging him with  fraud, money laundering and theft of public funds. The U.S. Attorney on this case says the indictment “seeks to hold Santos accountable for various alleged fraudulent schemes and brazen misrepresentations.”
US Attorney Breon Peace says “Taken together, the allegations in the indictment charge Santos with relying on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich himself.”
