Former U.S. Rep. George Santos, a Republican from New York, is expected to enter a guilty plea to multiple counts in his federal fraud case, likely scheduled for a court hearing on Monday.
Santos has pleaded not guilty to numerous financial crimes, including lying to Congress and using campaign contributions for personal expenses, yet now appears to be shifting his stance towards pleading guilty.
Prosecutors noted that the trial could last three weeks, anticipating around thirty-six witnesses, including victims of Santos' alleged fraudulent activities, underscoring the serious nature of the cases against him.
Despite earlier claims of his innocence and describing the investigation as a 'witch hunt,' Santos indicated previously during interviews that a plea deal was 'not off the table,' reflecting a potential shift in his legal strategy.
