Disturbed pathological liar Rep. George Santos (R-NY) was placed in Federal custody after being indicted on 13 Federal charges, including seven counts of wire fraud and three counts of money laundering:
"The Justice Department on Wednesday unsealed federal charges against Rep. George Santos and the New York Republican is in custody.
Santos, whose astonishing pattern of lies and fabrications stunned even hardened politicos, has been charged on a 13-count indictment, including 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.
He was taken into custody in Melville on Long Island, where the FBI is housed, a law enforcement source told CNN. From there, he was taken to the courthouse in Central Islip.
Santos is expected to appear later Wednesday at federal court in New York’s Eastern District." (our emphasis)
