Rep. George Santos returns to court for 2nd arraignment
Embattled Republican Rep. George Santos is set to appear in federal court in Central Islip, Long Island, on Friday, where he will be arraigned on 23 charges including identity theft, credit card fraud and conspiracy.
Santos is also accused of stealing credit card information from some of his actual donors and attempting $44,800 in fraudulent charges he masked as donations, in other individuals’ names, to his campaign account. Prosecutors allege Santos used one donor’s credit card to funnel $12,000 to his personal bank account.
Joe Murray, an attorney for Santos, declined to comment on Thursday, ahead of the second arraignment.
