Rep. George Santos pleaded not guilty to the charges contained in a superseding indictment that accused him of stealing people’s identities, making charges on his donors’ credit cards without their authorization and lying to federal election officials.
Trial was set for Sept. 9, 2024 and is expected to last three weeks.
The 23-count superseding indictment filed earlier this month charges the New York congressman with “two counts of wire fraud, two counts of making materially false statements to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), two counts of falsifying records submitted to obstruct the FEC, two counts of aggravated identity theft and one count of access device fraud,” the United States Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District of New York said in a release.
Santos is keeping his lawyer, Joe Murray, despite a potential conflict of interest involving others associated with the case.
There was no change in bail conditions. The next status conference is set for Dec. 12.
