George Santos pleads not guilty to all 23 charges in advance of federal ****** trial


George Santos pleads not guilty to all 23 charges in advance of federal ****** trial

NEW YORK — George Santos is expected to plead guilty to charges stemming from allegations of ******, a person familiar with the matter confirmed to CBS News New York. 

Santos, the former New York congressman, is expected to enter a plea in federal court Monday in Central Islip, New York. 

He was expelled from the House of Representatives last year and previously pleaded not guilty to 23 federal charges alleging ******, including misusing campaign funds. 

Sides were preparing for trial next month

Santos’s trial was scheduled to start in September. He appeared in court Tuesday for a pre-trial hearing, where federal prosecutors asked to submit ***** he told on the campaign as evidence, arguing he “deliberately leveraged them to perpetuate the ********* schemes.”

The ***** included:

  • Graduating from Baruch College and New York University
  • Being an accomplished college volleyball player
  • Having grandparents who survived the Holocaust
  • Working at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs
  • Fabricating his family wealth
  • Stealing from campaign contributors

Santos’s defense team asked the court for a partially anonymous jury, citing “extensive and largely negative media coverage,” and claiming “jurors could face harassment or intimidation.” The judge had agreed.

If convicted in a trial, Santos faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
