George Santos denies new federal charges, including credit card fraud, aggravated identity theft
CBSN
Congressman George Santos is vehemently denying new allegations of credit card fraud, aggravated identity theft and conspiracy that were brought in a 23-count superseding indictment Tuesday.
Speaking with reporters Wednesday morning, Santos, a New York Republican, reiterated what he told CBS News Tuesday night — that he will fight the charges "until the bitter end."
He walked through several of the counts against him, including explosive allegations that he had made unauthorized charges on his donors' credit cards to support his campaign. Federal prosecutors say in one instance, Santos racked up $15,800 in charges on a campaign contributor's credit card.
