Another day, another legal challenge for Congressman George Santos. This time, he's finalizing a deal to avoid prosecution in a stolen checkbook case. MKramerTV says Santos was to appear before a judge in Brazil over Zoom.
One of the charges in the federal case involves allegations he solicited funds from donors who believed they were contributing to his campaign. Instead, prosecutors say, Santos used the money for personal expenses like designer clothes."I have made clear, both to Speaker McCarthy and others, that I find the whole George Santos thing an untenable situation. It's beyond the pale," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said.
Adding to Santos' woes, now Jeffries is blaming Santos for the failure of Republicans to negotiate a debt ceiling deal. "House Republicans are going to try to pass legislation that will restrict, if not end, the ability of the federal government to confront unemployment insurance fraud ... And perhaps that explains why my Republican colleagues have failed to take any action to remove someone who was clearly unfit to serve in the people's House," he said.
