George Santos talks PLEA DEAL with feds in push to avoid prison ahead of his corruption trial just weeks after he was expelled from Congress

George Santos is talking about a possible plea deal with prosecutors as he seeks to avoid prison in a fraud case, court records show.

The disgraced former congressman, who was expelled from the US House of Representatives earlier this month, is now in talks with lawyers for the Eastern District of New York.

The details of the possible announcement have not yet been announced.

Court documents say Santos is “currently engaged in plea negotiations with the goal of resolving this matter without the need for trial.”

Santos is now facing a 23-count federal indictment for allegedly stealing the identities of his donors and using their credit cards to spend tens of thousands of dollars. If convicted, he faces up to 22 years in prison. He pleaded not guilty and called the case a “witch hunt.”

George Santos is in talks with the feds over how he can avoid trial on charges that he stole his donors’ identities and used their credit cards to finance his lavish lifestyle.

The former Long Island representative was kicked out of Congress in early December after the ethics committee found he had stolen donor funds.

Santos was forced to resign from Congress on December 1 after the ethics committee found that he had stolen donor funds to spend on Botox and OnlyFans.

More than 100 Republicans joined Democrats in ousting the fabulist liar in a historic vote with a total vote of 311 to 114, with two members voting “present.”

Santos has previously said he would not hesitate to accept a plea deal or community service for fear of being sent to prison.

“I think everyone should be afraid of going to jail. It’s not a pretty place and I want to try to avoid it as much as possible,” he said. Meaning. “I will negotiate as best I can.”

His comments marked a sharp reversal from his stance in September leading up to his expulsion, when he vowed he would not take a plea deal.

The Republican fabulist was expelled from Congress in a special vote after his long history of lies was exposed and he faced multiple criminal charges.

His mountains of lies include fabricating family ties to the Holocaust, killing his mother in the 9/11 attacks, working on Wall Street, recovering from a brain tumor, being Ukrainian-Jewish, and starting a charity.

A Long Island congressman fled Capitol Hill as he became the sixth House member in history to be ousted earlier this month.

George Santos, who was seen on September 29, now faces a total of 23 federal charges for allegedly stealing campaign contributions.

A ousted lawmaker was forced to resign after he refused to resign and said he was the victim of a “witch hunt.”

This comes after a House ethics report found that he used money and campaign contributions to finance a lavish lifestyle, engaged in fraud, filed false election reports and “willfully” violated ethics.

Santos tried to shift the blame to his former campaign treasurer Nancy Marks, who pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges in October.

Another of his former fundraisers, Samuel Miele, also pleaded guilty to federal charges.

Santos’ trial is currently scheduled for comment on September 9 next year, but prosecutors are pushing for the start date to be pushed back to May or June.
