Statement From Congressman Dan Goldman On Reporting that George Santos Has Been Charged by The Justice Department in Federal Probe

Washington, DC – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) issued the following statement on reporting that George Santos has been criminally charged by the U.S Department of Justice. 

“While we wait to see the exact criminal charges filed against George Santos, public reporting indicates that the charges relate to the conduct outlined in the complaint I filed with the House Ethics Committee.  

“As a former prosecutor, there were glaring red lights in Santos’s campaign disclosures, and I applaud the DOJ for working diligently to investigate them. 

“Now that Santos has been indicted, it is incumbent on Speaker Kevin McCarthy to eliminate the stain of Santos on this hallowed institution by removing him from Congress immediately.  

“We cannot wait any longer.”
