Serial liar George Santos reaches plea deal, pleads guilty to wire fraud and identity theft

George Santos, the disgraced former GOP congressman from Long Island known for his drag queen performances, has pleaded guilty to two campaign fraud charges after months of denial. He admitted to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in a New York court. Santos, known for his fabrications, faces six to eight years in prison and must repay over $373,000.

Expelled from Congress for multiple false claims about his background, he misused campaign funds for personal luxuries including Botox and designer items. Initially declaring innocence, he shifted to a guilty plea before a trial set for September, with evidence stacked against him from prosecutors.
