Republican Rep. George Santos of New York pleaded not guilty to 10 additional campaign finance fraud charges on Friday in Long Island federal court. The charges are in relation to allegations that Santos stole the identities of campaign donors and made unauthorized charges on their credit cards, totaling $44,000. He also falsely claimed to have loaned his campaign around $500,000, despite having less than $8,000 in his bank accounts at the time. If convicted, Santos could face a maximum sentence of 22 years in prison.

These new charges come on the heels of a previous indictment in May, which included 13 charges against Santos for alleged embezzlement and lying to Congress. Former campaign treasurer Nancy Marks also recently pleaded guilty to fraud conspiracy, admitting that she and Santos falsified loan and donor information.

Despite the mounting allegations against him, Santos has vowed not to resign and insists he is entitled to due process. However, fellow Republican lawmakers have introduced a resolution to expel him from Congress, which may be voted on as soon as next week. Santos is currently free on bail and is set to go to trial on September 9, 2024.
