Former Congressman George Santos is anticipated to enter a guilty plea in the fraud case.

A source familiar from NPR with the case states that former US Representative George Santos is anticipated to enter a plea of guilty to many charges in his federal fraud prosecution.

According to the source, Santos, a Republican from New York, is anticipated to enter the plea during a Monday Long Island court session.

The individual talked to The Associated Press under the condition of anonymity and was not permitted to publicly disclose the specifics of the plea.

Following a joint Friday request from the attorneys for Santos and the prosecution, the hearing was set for Monday afternoon. They also requested and were granted a postponement of a few pre-trial deadlines.

The announcement was made only a few weeks before the September 9 jury selection date. Santos had already entered not guilty pleas to a number of financial offenses, including as misrepresenting his wealth to Congress, claiming unemployment benefits while working, and using donations from his campaign to cover personal costs like expensive clothes.

The New York Republican was dismissed from Congress in December following the discovery of “overwhelming evidence” by an ethics committee that he had breached the law and taken advantage of his public position for personal gain.
