YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

US Representative George Santos, who allegedly fabricated much of his life story before he was elected to Congress, pleaded not guilty to the latest charges filed against him by federal prosecutors.

The embattled New York Republican has steadfastly denied wrongdoing since he was first indicted in May for campaign finance violations. He appeared in federal court Friday on Long Island to answer to 10 additional charges filed this month accusing him of making false statements to the Federal Election Commission and running up unauthorized expenses on his campaign contributors’ credit cards.

US District Judge Joanna Seybert set the trial to start Sept. 9, but said she’d move it up if there’s an opening on her schedule. Prosecutor Ryan Harris said he hoped for an earlier date “given that the defendant is a member of Congress and the fact that these are very serious charges with a number of victims who do have an interest in a speedy trial.” Santos remains free on bail.
