As per people aware of the situation, federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York have indicted Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y.
The specifics of the accusations are still unknown because the indictments are under seal.
According to individuals familiarized with the situation, the troubled lawmaker might have his first court appearance as early as this Wednesday, according to ABC News.
The criminal allegations will not be made public until Santos makes an appearance.
Santos will probably have the option to turn himself in because he is a current member of Congress.
CNN broke the story of the accusations first.
Even though the accusations are still under seal, insiders have previously informed ABC News that Santos has been under investigation by the FBI, federal prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York, and the district lawyers’ offices in Queens and Nassau counties.
