Sources tell NY1 that former Republican Congressman George Santos is expected to plead guilty in a deal with federal prosecutors that will allow him to avoid his corruption trial next month.

Santos, who represented parts of Queens and Long Island until he was expelled from Congress last year, is scheduled to appear in court in Suffolk County on Monday afternoon.

Santos is facing 23 felony charges, accused of stealing tens of thousands of dollars from donors and spending some of the money on lavish personal expenses. Shortly after he was elected in 2022, The New York Times reported extensively how Santos colorfully fabricated much of his life story.

While Santos had previously insisted that he would fight the charges in court, it appears that he has changed his mind.

Neither Santos nor federal prosecutors would comment on Monday’s scheduled court appearance. On Santos’ social media account, the former lawmaker made no mention of his legal troubles, instead offering a negative movie review to the new film “Alien Romulus.”
