George Santos, a New York congressman, has surrendered to federal charges of wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, and lying to the House of Representatives. Santos faces seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives. US Attorney Breon Peace said the indictment seeks to hold Santos accountable for various fraudulent schemes and brazen misrepresentations. The allegations, according to the indictment, said that Santos schemed to defraud his candidacy supporters by setting up an unnamed company, misleading them that it would be used to support his candidacy, and spending thousands of dollars on his personal expenses, including luxury designer clothing and credit card payments. Santos, if found guilty, will be punished for his repeated dishonesty and deception to enrich himself, as per Peace's statement. Santos’s indictment emphasized lying to supporters, fraudulently inducing donations, and then using them for personal gain, causing disappointment among his constituents.
