Corruption is Everywhere > Especially among Biden Family friends

 

It's just my humble opinion, but I get the impression that the Biden Family is America's number one crime family. I'm sure I'm wrong though. Mind you, it's not unlike Deep State to choose a man, or woman, who has a number of skeletons in their closet. They are easier to control.

James Biden associate Keaton Langston

pleads guilty to $51M Medicare fraud

WASHINGTON — A former business associate of James Biden has agreed to plead guilty to 

conspiring to defraud Medicare of $51 million through a lab-testing company linked to the first

brother.

Keaton Langston, 39, admitted to using pharmacies, durable medical equipment companies and a laboratory in which he had a financial interest to bill for unnecessary tests and orders, the Justice Department disclosed last week in court filings.

James Biden, 75, has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing and has sought to distance himself from Langston, whose father Joey Langston also was associated with the first brother.

Keaton Langston founded Fountain Health, a lab company, in May 2017 and offered its services to rural hospital operator Americore Health, which later went bankrupt.

Records show James Biden was involved with Fountain Health in 2017 before connecting with Americore, which provided him in $600,000 in loans in 2018 as he allegedly vowed to use his political connections to secure foreign investors.

James passed $200,000 of the funds to Joe Biden in an alleged loan repayment.

Shortly after the lab firm launched, Joey Langston emailed James Biden and his son Keaton and three others on July 12, 2017, about an upcoming “meeting for Fountain Health partners,” Politico reported in February.

“Jim will report to the group the results of his discussions earlier today with a contact at [Blue Cross Blue Shield],” the elder Langston wrote. “There will also be discussion about how to proceed with the Union contacts that have been made by Jim and Keaton, within the last two weeks.”

Paul Fishman, an attorney for James Biden, did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but previously said his client “conducted himself ethically and honorably in all his business dealings.”

Keaton Langston agreed in September to repay Americore $240,000 in a civil settlement. James Biden agreed in 2022 to repay Americore $350,000.

Curious! A man who always conducted himself ethically and honorably would have to repay $350,000.

The Bidens and the Langstons have been linked financially for years.

The elder Langston hosted fundraisers for Joe Biden when he was a senator, ProPublica reported.

Joey Langston also loaned James Biden $800,000, with most of the installments coming toward the end of the Obama-Biden administration in 2016, and ended up only being repaid $400,000 of the amount, he told House impeachment investigators in February.

The wealthy Mississippi lawyer pleaded guilty in 2008 and was sentenced to three years in federal prison for being part of a plot to bribe a judge in an asbestos legal fees dispute.

He was seeking to overturn his conviction when he made loans to the then-vice president’s son.

Joey Langston’s alleged co-conspirator in the bribes case, attorney Dickie Scruggs, was involved in a second prosecution for attempting to bribe a different judge.

James Biden was wiretapped by the FBI in 2007 as part of its investigation of the second bribery case, the Washington Post reported in December.

James was in talks at the time with Scruggs and conspirator Tim Balducci about setting up a law firm that would have employed himself, his nephew Hunter Biden and James’ wife Sara.

Then-Sen. Biden went from an opponent of federal legislation to sanction tobacco companies for lying about the addictiveness of cigarettes to a supporter after Scruggs — who planned a multibillion-dollar lawsuit — paid James Biden’s lobbying firm $100,000 in 1998, the Washington Post reported.

“I probably wouldn’t have hired him if he wasn’t the senator’s brother,” Scruggs told the paper.

Scruggs also flew Joe Biden to a fundraiser on his private plane, the Washington Post reported.

Joe Biden has consistently claimed he “never” discussed business with his son or brother and said in December and again in March that he “did not” interact with their partners, including foreign associates in countries where he held sway as vice president.

Evidence including photos, emails and witness statements indicate that Biden actually interacted with his son and brother’s associates from two Chinese government-linked business ventures and their patrons from Kazakhstan, Mexico, Russia and Ukraine.

James Biden was a partner with first son Hunter in many ventures and allegedly wasn’t always coy about the angle he was pushing to investors.

“We’ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden,” James allegedly said in the early 2000s as he and Hunter were in the process of acquiring investment bank Paradigm, according to a 2021 book by Politico reporter Ben Schreckinger.

Corruption is Everywhere > Khan's conviction and sentence suspended in Pakistan; 1000+ Emails connect Joe and Hunter's firm when Joe was VP

If there is a major country that can rival Ukraine for corruption it would be Pakistan.

Pakistani court suspends former PM Khan’s graft conviction and jail sentence

A Pakistani court on Tuesday suspended the corruption conviction and three-year

prison sentence of former prime minister Imran Khan, his lawyer said.

The Islamabad High Court also granted bail for Khan, but it’s not immediately clear if he will be released since he also faces several other charges. 

Khan's lawyer Shoaib Shaheen said the court issued a brief verbal order and a written ruling will be issued later.

The ruling comes weeks after Khan was convicted and sentenced to three years in prison by another court that found him guilty of concealing assets after selling state gifts he received while in office.

Khan was imprisoned on August 5 after being sentenced to three years in jail for unlawfully selling state gifts during his tenure as prime minister from 2018 to 2022.

As a result of the conviction, Pakistan's Election Commission also barred Khan from contesting elections for five years.

The cricketer-turned-politician was ousted from power through a no-confidence vote in parliament last year.

The ruling came a day after a court in the western province of Balochistan quashed a sedition case against Khan.

The case was registered in the southwestern city of Quetta in March, the capital of the province, based on an allegation that one of Khan's speeches was seditious.

Balochistan High Court said on Monday that prosecutors had failed to obtain the required consent from the federal or provincial government to lodge sedition charges.

The charges are "without lawful authority and are of no legal effect", the court ruled, throwing out the case.

Khan lost power after falling out with Pakistan's influential military, and his attempts to rally popular support have stirred political turmoil in a country already struggling with one of its worst economic crises.

A general election was expected in November, though it is likely to be delayed until at least early next year.

Aside from the graft and sedition cases, Khan is also facing charges ranging from terrorism and encouraging assaults on state institutions – after his supporters attacked military and government installations in May – as well as abetment to murder following the slaying of a Supreme Court lawyer in June.

Hunter Biden’s firm, Joe’s VP office exchanged more than 1,000 emails: records

By Victor Nava, NYPost

August 30, 2023 10:47pm  UpdatedB

House Oversight panel demands files on Hunter Biden’s use of Air Force Two: ‘Must be accountability’

Hunter Biden’s Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm traded more than 1,000 emails with Joe Biden’s office during his time as vice president — and hundreds remain hidden because of executive privilege asserted by the White House, documents released by the National Archives show. 

The 861 emails that reference Rosemont Seneca were sent or received by the Office of the Vice President between January 2011 and December 2013, according to America First Legal, which obtained the messages from the National Archives and Records Administration and released them on Wednesday. 

The White House refused to allow the release of 200 emails referencing Hunter Biden’s firm, citing executive privilege.  

“Release would disclose confidential advice between the President and his advisors, or between such advisors,” NARA informed America First Legal in response to its records request. 

Hunter Biden’s firm sent or received some 1,000 emails from then Vice President Joe Biden’s office. AP

Hunter Biden and his business associates frequently used their direct line of communications with the Office of the Vice President to leverage access to the Obama White House, the trove of emails show. 

White House guest lists, seating assignments, and biographies of guests for various official events, including the 2012 United Kingdom State Dinner, the 2013 Turkey State Luncheon and the 2014 France State Dinner, were shared with Rosemont Seneca employees. 

One email contains an invitation forwarded to the White House for then-Vice President Joe Biden to attend an event at the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations, and another invites then-second lady Jill Biden to participate in a World Food Program campaign. 

Invitations from the White House for several events that Hunter Biden presumably attended or had requested tickets for guests for are also shown in NARA’s document dump. 

In one frantic December 2013 email, lobbyist Doug Davenport begs Hunter Biden’s former business partner Eric Schwerin for tickets, on short notice, to the White House Christmas tour, indicating that Rosemont Seneca’s level of access to the Executive Mansion was well-known. 

“Hey guys……I am in a bad spot,” Davenport’s email begins. “I have a guy from Apple who is dying to take his 4 colleagues on a REGULAR WH Tour…see the tree, etc…..this Friday.”

“I know it is WAY short notice, but I would owe you my life if you could tell me any way possible to get my hands on some public tour tix for this Friday? Or am I just way out of line???” he adds. 

Schwerin then directs a Rosemont Seneca employee to “check with our friends over there” and informs Davenport that the only way the request would be possible would be to get them to “the front of the line.”

Hunter Biden’s former business partner Eric Schwerin was frequently in contact with the vice president’s office, the emails show. Twitter

Rosemont Seneca then contacts Joe Biden’s office and is able to secure Davenport’s last-minute request as a “Big favor for Hunter,” the email shows. 

“These records provide even more evidence that no daylight existed between Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings and the Office of the Vice President during the Obama Administration,” Gene Hamilton, America First Legal vice president and general counsel, said in a statement. 

“The evidence accumulating against the Biden family’s malfeasance is staggering. We will continue to put the pieces of this puzzle together and expose the truth to the American people,” he added. 

America First Legal, a group founded by Stephen Miller, a former senior adviser to President Donald Trump, received the documents from the National Archives in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit for records from Joe Biden’s time as vice president.

Joe Biden used email pseudonyms while VP to loop in Hunter

on Ukraine, government business

By Josh Christenson

August 18, 2023 4:27pm  Updated

President Biden used at least three pseudonyms during his vice presidency to send messages to his son Hunter concerning both family and official government business — including meetings with Ukrainian leaders, emails found on the first son’s abandoned laptop show.

Then-Vice President Biden emailed Hunter under the aliases “Robin Ware,” “Robert L. Peters” and “JRB Ware” between 2014 and 2016, keeping his son abreast of scheduled talks with then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Kyiv Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, among other communications The Post first revealed in 2021.

The elder Biden had one of his aides, John Flynn, send his daily schedule to the private email address “Robert.L.Peters@pci.gov” at least 10 times between May 18 and June 15, 2016, copying Hunter on a May 26 message with a note about an “8.45am prep for 9am phonecall [sic] with Pres Poroshenko.”

President Biden used various aliases during his vice presidency to send messages to his son,

Hunter Biden, on family and official government business.

Teresa Kroeger

Biden had pressured Poroshenko five months earlier to fire Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the natural gas company Burisma Holdings, where Hunter earned roughly $1 million per year while serving on the board between 2014 and 2019.

The vice president, who was in charge of Ukraine policy at the time, discussed reforms to Shokin’s office after the prosecutor’s ouster, according to an archived readout of the May 27 conversation.

The year after leaving office, Biden publicly stated that he had threatened during his December 2015 visit to Ukraine to withhold $1 billion in US loan guarantees if Shokin was not ousted.

A June 15, 2016, meeting with Prime Minister Groysman led to an announcement of “$220 million in new assistance to Ukraine,” records show. Hunter had also been cc’d about that meeting on his father’s schedule the day before.

This story seems to be not very horrible, Dad keeping his son abreast of his schedule, but for the fact that the content often referred to Joe's interference in Ukraine politics in order to shut down an investigation into Hunter's fleecing of Burisma for access to his father. 

This story also reveals Washington's control over Ukraine after the Maidan coup.

Russian dissident Yevgeny Prigozhin reported dead

after a plane crash outside Moscow

By Olivia Land

August 23, 2023 1:26pm  Updated

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Russian dissident Vladimir Putin labeled a “traitor,” is believed to have been killed when a private jet crashed outside Moscow Wednesday evening – less than two months after he led a mutiny against the Kremlin’s military top brass.

Prigozhin, the leader of the controversial Wagner paramilitary group, was on the passenger list of the Embraer aircraft that crashed near the village of Kuzhenkino, 60 miles north of Moscow, the TASS news agency said Wednesday, citing the Federal Agency for Air Transport. 

“An investigation of the Embraer plane crash that happened in the Tver Region this evening was initiated. According to the passenger list, first and last name of Yevgeny Prigozhin was included in this list,” the agency stated.

Although it is unclear if Prigozhin boarded the flight, footage of the wreckage shows the last four digits of the aircraft’s registration number are 2795 — a match for the Wagner leader’s plane, which is RA-02795, CNN reported. The engine color is also similar to Prigozhin’s jet, the outlet said.

Flight data indicates that a jet registered to Wagner that Prigozhin used previously took off from Moscow on Wednesday evening and stopped transmitting signals around 6:11 p.m. local time.

A second jet possibly linked to the Wagner Group chief landed safely in St. Petersburg at 6:19 p.m. local time, flight data indicates

Prigozhin has been reported dead in a fiery private jet crash.

There were 10 people on board the plane when it went down less than 30 minutes into its journey from Sheremetyevo Airport outside the Russian capital to St. Petersburg, officials told TASS.

The aircraft burst into flames on impact, according to the state-run agency, which has been accused of spreading Russian propaganda during the Ukraine war.

Thus far, eight bodies are believed to have been recovered from the crash site.

Wagner commander Dmitry Utkin was also possibly on the doomed flight, the Wagner Group-affiliated Telegram channel Gray Zone said.

“Various sources” alleged that the jet was downed by Russian “air defense systems,” the channel added.

An unverified video of a jet matching the description of an Embraer Legacy 600 tumbling out of the sky was circulated online by the Russian outlet RIA Novosti.

The investigation into the crash is under the “personal control” of the governor of the Tver region, Igor Rudenya, according to TASS.

There is also a criminal investigation underway headed by the Russian Investigative Committee, CNN said.

The case is grounded in Article 263 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which includes violations of the operations of air transport, the outlet explained.

The aircraft went down en route from the Russian capital to St. Petersburg.

Was Prigozhin's plane shot down? Was he even in that plane or did he switch to the second plane? Is it an attempt by Prigozhin to disappear himself? Anything is possible in Russia.

Former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin jailed for 8 years

after return from exile

Aug. 22 (UPI) -- Exiled former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra returned to Thailand on Tuesday 15 years after fleeing corruption charges after he was ousted in a military coup.

Thaksin, who has spent most of his time abroad living in Dubai, announced his comeback on social media after a previously announced return on Aug. 10 was postponed to allow time for a medical.

"Tomorrow at 9 o'clock I would like to request permission to return to live in the land of Thailand and breathe the same air as my Thai brothers and sisters," Thaksin wrote in a Twitter post on Monday.

The 74-year-old, who touched down from Singapore at Bangkok's Don Muang International Airport as parliament sat to vote for a new prime minister, was detained and taken to the Supreme Court where he was sentenced to eight years in prison.

Since departing the country in 2008, Thaksin's sentence has grown into a 12 year-term across at least three separate corruption cases by the Supreme Court's Criminal Division for Holders of Political Office. Thaksin has always maintained that his legal woes are an effort by political opponents to neutralize him.

Given he has evaded the long arm of the Thai legal system for such an extended period of time, speculation is widespread that the manner of Tuesday's highly choreographed return suggests he has cut a deal that will see him serve only token jail time.

Thaksin might also possibly launch a bid for a royal pardon from King Vajiralongkorn with authorities at Bangkok Remand Prison where he is being held saying he can submit a petition immediately, although it can take up to two months to know if it will be successful.

In court he received a three-year sentence and a two-year sentence, to run concurrently, for a conflict of interest case involving the loaning of $114,400 to Myanmar in 2004 at a below-market rate of interest to enable it to purchase goods from his Shin Satellite company and abuse of power in establishing a lottery without legal authority.

The five-year term was for misconduct in relation to phone concessions and conflict of interest during his term in office which ran 2001 through September 2006 when he was deposed in a military coup while he was in New York attending a U.N. summit.

His return comes as parliament voted to select a new prime minister three months after elections failed to produce a clear winner, with the second-placed Pheu Thai Party that Thaksin has thrown his considerable weight behind leading efforts to form a government after Move Forward Party leader Pita Limjaroenrat was unable to secure the premiership.

‘Missing’ Biden corruption witness Dr. Gal Luft hit with federal charges

By Samuel Chamberlain and Miranda Devine, NYPost

July 10, 2023 8:39pm  Updated

Dr. Gal Luft, a key figure in House Republicans’ investigation of the Biden family’s international influence-peddling, faces federal charges of arms trafficking, operating as an unregistered lobbyist for China, and conspiring to flout US sanctions on Iran, according to a Manhattan indictment unsealed Monday.

Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York say Luft, 57, a dual US-Israeli citizen who was arrested in Cyprus this past February and went on the run after being released on bail prior to his extradition, agreed in 2015 to let former Hong Kong official Patrick Ho send $350,000 each year to Luft’s think tank, the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security.

In return, the indictment said, Luft agreed to “recruit and ‘educate'” a former high-ranking US official to “make public statements … which were in the interest of China.”

The official is not named in the indictment, but details about his work correspond to former CIA Director James Woolsey, who briefly worked for former President Donald Trump’s transition team after the 2016 election.

Ho similarly is not named in the indictment, but details in the court document match up to incidents in Ho’s life — most notably his arrest by US officials in November 2017 on bribery and money-laundering charges.

Dr. Gal Luft, a figure in the House GOP investigation of the Biden family, has been indicted on federal charges of arms trafficking and conspiring to flout US sanctions on Iran.

Luft has claimed the criminal case is a political hit job meant to stop him from testifying to the House Oversight Committee that the first family received payments from individuals with ties to Chinese military intelligence and that the Bidens had an FBI mole who shared classified information with their benefactors from the China state-controlled energy company CEFC.

“I, who volunteered to inform the US government about a potential security breach and about compromising information about a man vying to be the next president, am now being hunted by the very same people who I informed — and may have to live on the run for the rest of my life,” Luft told The Post in a video filmed in an undisclosed location last week.

At the time of the alleged arrangement with Luft, Ho headed up the China Energy Fund Committee, the non-governmental section of the CEFC China Energy conglomerate which had officers in Hong Kong and Virginia. 

Around the same time, in late 2015, CEFC China Energy chairman Ye Jianming and executive director Jianjun Zang are believed to have met then-second son Hunter Biden for the first time.

Their partnership culminated in a little more than $5 million being wired to Biden-controlled accounts in August 2017. 

The following month, Ho agreed to pay Hunter Biden a $1 million retainer to act as his legal counsel. During Ho’s trial, claims Luft, prosecutors removed all reference to Hunter and his family members from emails between Ho and Hunter associate Vuk Jeremic, a CEFC advisory board member, former Serbian foreign minister and ex-president of the United Nations General Assembly.

Ho — whom Hunter Biden once reportedly called the “f—ing spy chief of China” — was convicted and sentenced March 25, 2019, to three years in prison, after which he was deported.

Days later, Luft says, he met with six FBI and Justice Department officials in Brussels and told them the extent of the Biden connection with CEFC.

Among his claims was that the conglomerate was paying $100,000 a month to Hunter and $65,000 to first brother Jim Biden, in exchange for their FBI connections and use of the Biden name to promote China’s Belt and Road Initiative around the world — and that the money was being funneled through another Biden family associate, Rob Walker.

You would think Hunter could afford to pay more than $5,000 a month for his estranged daughter.

Luft also said that Joe Biden, then the former vice president, attended an early 2017 meeting at the Four Seasons Hotel in Washington, DC, with Hunter and officials from CEFC — a sighting later confirmed by Walker, according to congressional testimony.

Luft added that Hunter had an FBI source named “One Eye” who had tipped off Ho and Ye that they were under investigation. (Ye has not been seen since his detention by Chinese authorities in early 2018.)

Luft has claimed that the Biden family took money from individuals with ties to Chinese military intelligence and had a mole in the FBI to share information with Chinese energy company CEFC.

“The DOJ says I caused a payment of $6,000 a month to former CIA Director James Woolsey in order to put his name on an article I had ghostwritten for the China Daily newspaper,” Luft said last week of the indictment, which he claimed was filed days before this past November’s midterm elections. 

“Why am I being indicted … for ghostwriting an innocuous article for which I received no payment, let alone from a foreign government, when the mother of all FARA cases, the Bidens’ systemic influence-peddling on behalf of foreign governments, for which they raked [in] millions, goes unpunished?” 

The indictment also accuses Luft of trying to broker deals for Chinese companies to sell weapons to countries including Libya, Kenya and the United Arab Emirates without the license required by US law — as well as setting up meetings between Iranian officials and  CEFC China to discuss oil deals.

Luft is further charged with lying about both those activities during the Brussels meeting with federal investigators.

“I was asked by a bona fide arms dealer, an Israeli friend, to inquire with a company I knew if they had an item and what would be the price of an item,” Luft told The Post last week. “This is where the conspiracy ended. No follow-up, no money, no brokering activity.”

Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), who was preparing to interview Luft when he disappeared, has said the Israeli remains a “potential witness” in the panel’s investigation despite his fugitive status.

“We definitely want to hear more about his allegations and we want to see the notes from the [Brussels] meeting,” Comer told Fox News Monday night. “They sent six FBI [and DOJ officials], according to Gal Luft, to Brussels to interview him. Obviously they were concerned about something he had to say. There’s some level of credibility here.”

Nine Biden family members who allegedly got foreign money

identified by House GOP

By Steven Nelson, NYPost

May 10, 2023 10:24am  Updated

WASHINGTON — House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer identified nine members of President Biden’s family Wednesday who allegedly received foreign income after teasing the bombshell for weeks.

“Since you asked, I’ll tell you,” Comer (R-Ky.) told a rapt room of reporters at the Capitol after laying out new bank record evidence showing first son Hunter Biden received $1 million from a corrupt Romanian businessman while his dad was vice president.

“Joe Biden’s son [Hunter], Joe Biden’s brother [James], Joe Biden’s brother’s wife [Sara], Hunter Biden’s girlfriend or Beau Biden’s widow [Hallie], however, you want to write that, Hunter Biden’s ex-wife [Kathleen Buhle], Hunter Biden’s current wife [Melissa Cohen], and three children of the president’s son and the president’s brother,” Comer said.

The chairman seemed to indicate that only one of Biden’s grandchildren and two of his brother’s children got the foreign funds.

“We’re talking about grandchil — a grandchild,” Comer said at the press conference. “That’s odd, most people that work hard every day’s grandchild doesn’t get a wire from a foreign national.” 

James Biden has three children, including daughter Caroline, who pleaded guilty in 2018 to making over $100,000 in charges on a stolen credit card.

She should run for President - she could fix America's budget problems in a hurry.

Emails from Hunter’s abandoned laptop show Caroline turned up her nose at an $85,000 job offer that would have allowed her to serve her probationary period near her beloved cousin in California.

Hunter Biden was one of the Biden family members identified by Comer.

James Biden is another family member who allegedly received foreign income.

Caroline’s siblings are James Biden Jr. and Nicholas Biden.

The president’s other brother, Frank Biden, has two children, but Comer did not mention him and it’s unclear why Frank’s daughters, who reportedly work for NBC and as a nurse practitioner, would be involved.

A Comer aide told The Post it is possible that additional Biden relatives received foreign money. 

Bank records indicate $80,000 transferred from Romanian businessman Gabriel Popoviciu from 2015 to 2017 went to accounts identified only by the name “Biden,” for example — and a March memo from the committee indicated $70,000 from Chinese company CEFC China Energy did as well.

Hunter Biden and first brother James Biden were well-known for years for seeking millions from nations including China, Mexico, Romania, Russia and Ukraine — but the involvement of other family members was only more recently alleged by Comer.

The Oversight Committee issued a memo on Wednesday morning saying that Hallie Biden appears to have received $10,000 in early 2017 from Popoviciu — before receiving another $25,000 later that year as part of Hunter and James Biden’s partnership with CEFC China Energy.

The White House did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

No kidding! They are probably trying to figure out how they can accidentally drop a bomb on the NY Post.

Rep. George Santos charged with fraud, money laundering,

using donor funds on designer duds

By Priscilla DeGregory and Kyle Schnitzer, NYPost

May 10, 2023 9:28am  Updated

Lying Long Island Rep. George Santos surrendered Wednesday as federal prosecutors revealed the charges against him — including that he embezzled $50,000 in campaign money to buy designer clothing and pay personal expenses.

Santos, 34, is also accused of cheating his way to COVID unemployment benefits and lying to Congress on financial disclosure forms in which he claimed to be a millionaire, according to the 13-count indictment against him.

He pleaded not guilty at his first appearance in Central Islip federal court and was released on $500,000 bond.

The openly gay GOP lawmaker — who was elected Nov. 8 to represent New York’s 3rd District in Long Island and Queens — made headlines last year after copping to elaborate lies about his education, work experience, and family history before he was voted in. Santos has since been deemed a pariah by other New York Republicans — many of whom have called for him to step down.

He was arraigned Wednesday afternoon on a 13-count indictment charging him with seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.

“This indictment seeks to hold Santos accountable for various alleged fraudulent schemes and brazen misrepresentations,” said US Attorney Breon Peace in a statement.

Rep. George Santos is facing fraud and money laundering charges.

AP

Prosecutors accuse Santos of “relying on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich himself,” Peace said.

“He used political contributions to line his pockets, unlawfully applied for unemployment benefits that should have gone to New Yorkers who had lost their jobs due to the pandemic and lied to the House of Representatives,” Peace continued.

According to the indictment, Santos allegedly solicited two separate payments of $25,000 from two people under the pretense that the money would be used for TV advertisements and for other campaign costs in the 2022 race.

But instead, Santos used the funds, which were donated in October 2022, “for his personal benefit, including to make cash withdrawals, personal purchases of luxury designer clothing, credit card payments, a car payment, payments on personal debts, and one or more bank transfers to [Santos’] personal associates,” the filing charges.

Santos allegedly tricked a Queens-based political consultant, “Person 1,” into helping him secure the campaign contributions from the two donors. He told the consultant in a Sept. 12, 2022, text message that “Company 1” — which received the contributions — “existed ‘just to help this race’ and there were ‘no limits'” to the number of contributions he was allowed to receive, the indictment states.

So “Person 1” told “Contributor 1” on Oct. 20 that the money would be spent “to get our advertising up on TV,” the court papers claim.

On Oct. 26, “in reliance upon these emails and text messages, ‘Contributor 1′” transferred $25,000 to be wired to “Company 1,” the indictment states.
