CNN —Federal prosecutors on Tuesday accused Rep. George Santos of stealing donors’ identities and running up thousands of dollars in fraudulent charges on their credit cards.
This fresh round of charges, called a superseding indictment, effectively replaces the earlier case against Santos.
In May, Santos, 35, pleaded not guilty to 13 federal charges.
Pressed Tuesday on whether he would resign, Santos said: “No, I will not.”“I did not have access to my phone.
I have no clue what you guys are talking about,” Santos told CNN’s Manu Raju when asked about the indictment.
