Scandal-plagued Rep. George Santos pleads not guilty to latest charges

U.S. Rep. George Santos leaves the federal courthouse in Central Islip, N.Y., on Friday after pleading not guilty to charges in a revised indictment.The scandal-plagued freshman from New York's 3rd Congressional District was facing a second arraignment on a growing list of corruption charges linked to his 2022 campaign.

On Oct. 5, Santos' former treasurer, Nancy Marks, pleaded guilty to federal charges linked to her work for his campaign. It remains unclear whether she agreed to help the prosecution as part of her plea agreement.In addition to his growing legal troubles, Santos faces a House ethics probe, and he has been stripped of his committee assignments. On Thursday, many of his fellow New York Republican lawmakers introduced a resolution to expel him from Congress.

It's unclear now whether fractious Republicans actually will vote to remove a member of their razor-thin majority. Meanwhile, in a statement on social media, Santos promised"#PolitcalWarfare" against New York Republicans who want him ejected.
