U.S. Rep. George Santos, who has faced outrage and mockery over a litany of fabrications about his heritage, education and professional pedigree, has been charged with federal criminal offenses. That's according to two people who could not publicly discuss specific details of the case while it remains under seal and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. The charges against Santos were filed in the Eastern District of New York. Santos said he hadn't been told of the charges, telling The AP, “This is news to me."
