George Santos pleads not guilty to federal indictment and says he won’t resign
U.S. Rep. George Santos, infamous for fabricating his life story, pleaded not guilty
Wednesday to charges he duped donors, stole from his campaign and lied to Congress
about being a millionaire, all while cheating to collect unemployment benefits
he didn’t deserve.
Afterward, he said he wouldn’t drop his reelection bid and defied calls to resign.
Santos’ 13-count federal indictment was a reckoning for a web of fraud and deceit
that prosecutors say overlapped with the New York Republican’s fantastical public image
as a wealthy businessman — a fictional biography that began to unravel after he
won election last fall.
On the Cheeto front:
From CNN -
Trump again denies knowing E. Jean Carroll as he responds to civil jury verdict
Former President Donald Trump said he does not think a recent verdict in which a Manhattan federal jury found that he was liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll in a luxury department store dressing room disqualifies him from being president or will have an impact on women voters.
He denied knowing the columnist and denied the accusations.
"A Manhattan jury found you sexually abused writer E. Jean You've denied this. But what do you say to voters who say it disqualifies you from being president?" CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked.
Trump answered that he didn't think there were many voters who would think that. He claimed that the case was made up and that it was all politically motivated. He repeated that he did not know Carroll, but said that he took a photo "years ago" with her and her husband.
