Santos won New York’s 3rd District last year partly by telling personal backstory he later said was largely fiction
Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., has been hit with federal charges in the Eastern District of New York (EDNY), sources tell Fox News.
Santos, who is the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation, is expected to appear at EDNY Central Islip on Wednesday afternoon for his first appearance.
The charges, first reported by CNN, come after the scandal-plagued congressman last month announced his candidacy for reelection.
The freshman congressman flipped New York’s 3rd Congressional District for Republicans last year, partly by selling an inspirational personal backstory to voters that he later admitted was largely fictitious
