Possible Plea Deal In The Works For George Santos

Law & Crime reports:

Not long after New York Republican Rep. George Santos declined to definitively rule out taking a plea deal in his fraud case, federal prosecutors have asked to push back an upcoming hearing and revealed the parties are to discuss “possible paths forward.”

George Anthony Devolder Santos, 35, was hit with a 13-count indictment back in May accusing him of multiple crimes, including fraud, money laundering, stealing public funds, and lying to Congress.

The next scheduled hearing in the case was set for Thursday at noon, but prosecutors and Santos jointly want to pump the brakes on that status conference until the morning of Oct. 27.

Read the full article. Any plea deal will surely include Santos’s immediate resignation from Congress.

ALERT: Justice Dept asks to delay Thursday hearing in criminal fraud case of Rep George Santos (R-NY) until Oct 27, saying “The parties have continued to discuss possible paths forward in this matter. The parties wish to have additional time to continue those discussions”

Word of the day: Speculation

Meaning:

The forming of a theory or conjecture without firm evidence.
