New York Republican congressman George Santos, who rose to national prominence over a string of exaggerations, lies, and irregularities related to his personal background and campaign finances, has now been arrested on a string of federal charges.
The Justice Department unsealed a 13-count federal indictment on Wednesday (10 May) charging Mr Santos 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.
