Rep. George Santos pleads not guilty to campaign finance fraud charges
|
[NYPOST] Lying Long Island Republican Rep. George Santos pleaded not guilty to 10 additional campaign finance fraud charges on Friday during an arraignment hearing in Long Island federal court.
Santos faces a maximum sentence of 22 years in prison if convicted.
On the eve of his appearance, the 35-year-old said he would not resign and was “entitled to due process and not a predetermined outcome as some are seeking.”
The rep from New York’s Third District was likely referring to a resolution to expel him from Congress that fellow Long Island GOP Rep. Anthony D’Esposito introduced on Thursday, along with four other Empire State Republican co-sponsors.
“The superseding indictment that he is going to court tomorrow for is based on his treasurer’s guilty plea,” Rep. Mike Lawler, one of the co-sponsors, told reporters. “So you have now a conviction in this case that very clearly lays out what he did and how he did it.”
The resolution also lists the whoppers Santos told about his personal and professional history, including that his grandparents escaped the Holocaust and his mother narrowly survived the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
It could be voted on as soon as next week.
