From CNN:
Federal prosecutors have filed criminal charges against New York Rep. George Santos, the Republican lawmaker whose astonishing pattern of lies and fabrications stunned even hardened politicos, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
Santos is expected to appear as soon as Wednesday at federal court in New York’s eastern district, where the charges have been filed under seal.
The exact nature of the charges couldn’t immediately be learned but the FBI and the Justice Department public integrity prosecutors in New York and Washington have been examining allegations of false statements in Santos’ campaign finance filings and other claims.

Ari Melber is covering this on MSNBC as we speak. The exact charges against Santos are not yet known, but this can’t be anything but good news.
TFG’s daily dishonesty undoubtedly paved the way for a fraudulent candidate like Santos. If Santos is allowed to get away with his lies, it will only invite more and more mendacity in Republican politics. Throw the book at him.
Update 8:22pm ET — Looks like maybe election fraud:
