George Santos expected to plead guilty to ‘multiple counts’ at NY hearing in fraud trial, source says

Lying ex-Rep. George Santos is expected to plead guilty to “multiple counts” of his sprawling fraud indictment at a hearing Monday in federal court in Central Islip, according to a source familiar with the case.

Victims of the former New York Republican congressman told Talking Points Memo Friday that federal prosecutors alerted them to a possible plea deal that would see Santos admit to making unauthorized charges on the campaign credit card for his own personal use.

“They told me that he is pleading guilty on Monday,” one of the donors told TPM.

“He should be held completely accountable and he is, as far as I can tell, guilty of quite a bit. I know for certain that he lied to my face.”

The docket shows that an in-person hearing was scheduled for Monday afternoon in Central Islip at the fed’s request after both parties asked to push back an upcoming deadline in the pre-trial process.

The Post reached out to the Department of Justice and Santos’ defense team for comment.

Santos did not respond to messages asking about the plea deal.

The federal trial is slated to start in September. Prosecutors told a judge they expect to call at least three dozen witnesses, including some victims of Santos’ alleged crimes.

Santos pleaded not guilty earlier this week to a range of financial crimes, including lying to Congress about his wealth, collecting unemployment benefits while actually working and using campaign contributions to pay for personal expenses such as designer clothing.

His lawyers had argued in recent court filings that the written form “concerning potential jurors’ knowledge, beliefs, and preconceptions” was needed because of the extensive negative media coverage surrounding Santos.

Santos was expelled from Congress in December after an ethics investigation found “overwhelming evidence” he had broken the law and exploited his public position for his own profit.
