The New York Republican was scheduled to appear at a courthouse on Long Island to enter a plea to the new allegations.
Santos has been free on bail while he awaits trial.
He has denied any serious wrongdoing and blamed irregularities in his government regulatory filings on his former campaign treasurer, Nancy Marks, who he claims “went rogue.”Marks in turn has implicated Santos.
Santos has continued to represent his New York district in Congress since he was charged, rejecting calls for his resignation from several fellow New York Republicans.
During his successful 2022 run for office, Santos was buoyed by an uplifting life story that was later revealed to be rife with fabrications.
