New York Republican Rep. George Santos is facing an additional 10 criminal counts related to his campaign after federal prosecutors announced a superseding indictment against the lawmaker.
Santos in May pleaded not guilty to 13 counts, including wire fraud, money laundering, and stealing public funds.
The Department of Justice announced the additional charges on Tuesday, outlining an alleged scheme in which he inflated his campaign’s fundraising numbers in reports to the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) to qualify for a national party committee program that provides aid to candidates.
