..be charged!

Rep. George Santos charged in web of fraud, including stealing from campaign to buy designer clothes, the New York Republican infamous for fabricating his life story, has been indicted on charges that he duped donors, stole from his campaign and lied to Congress about being a millionaire, all while cheating to collect unemployment benefits he didn't deserve, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Congressman George Santos has been arrested on federal charges alleging he embezzled money from his campaign, lied to Congress about his income and cheated his way into undeserved unemployment benefits. The indictment says the New York Republican induced supporters to donate to a company under the false pretense the money would be used for his campaign. U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said Wednesday the indictment “seeks to hold Santos accountable for various alleged fraudulent schemes.” Santos has faced outrage over revelations he fabricated parts of his life story, including lying about being a wealthy Wall Street dealmaker. Santos told The Associated Press on Tuesday he hadn’t been told of the charges.

John Boehner’s Former Press Secretary Predicts ‘Dead Man Walking’ George Santos Will Resist House Expulsion: ‘Not a Stable Man’

George Santos is a “dead man walking.” That’s how Brendan Buck, former press secretary to Republican House Speaker John Boehner and current political analyst, described the U.S. representative while on Tuesday night’s episode of “Alex Wagner Tonight.”

“The problem is George Santos, as we have seen, is not a stable person,” Buck said.

Buck emphasized that most representative s who get into situations where they know they will likely be convicted and “have no future” step down. “I just don’t know that we can trust George Santos is going to see that that clearly. He has really nothing to lose. He’s a dead man walking,” Buck said. “It wouldn’t surprise me is he resists all efforts to remove him. Even if he’s convicted it wouldn’t surprise me if he resists that.”

Federal prosecutors have indicted Santos on 13 charges, including wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and “making materially false statements to the House of Representative s. He turned himself in Wednesday.
