For many who have been following Rep. George Santos' web of lies, it was never a question of if he would face charges, but when. Christinafantv and MKramerTV break down the charges and the political impact.
No one is surprised that George Santos was charged in federal court today with seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives. The world has known for months that Santos is a liar, an imposter, a criminal. The only thing we didn't know was which of his many crimes would be prosecuted first.
It's a disgrace that McCarthy has continued to sully the U.S. House of Representatives by allowing Santos to walk those sacred halls - for more than four months now! And all that time, the residents of NY's Third Congressional District have been without meaningful representation. It is the Speaker who sets the rules for what happens next. McCarthy must remove Santos, no more delays. George Santos cannot be permitted to griff off the American people for one more day.
