Former New York Republican Rep. George Santos is working with federal prosecutors on a plea agreement to resolve his indictment on 23 federal charges, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York has said.
Santos pleaded not guilty in October after prosecutors brought a superseding indictment against him with 10 additional charges.
He secured released on a $500,000 bond at the time, but in recent weeks he was expelled from Congress following a House Ethics Committee report that, in part, found he had misspent campaign donations.
