Rep. George Santos appears in federal court on fraud, money laundering charges

[RandySF]

NEW YORK -- Prosecutors said they have more than 80,000 pages of evidence against U.S. Rep. George Santos during a court hearing on Friday.

Santos appeared in court for the first time since pleading not guilty last month to charges that he duped donors, stole from his campaign, collected fraudulent unemployment benefits, and lied to Congress about being a millionaire.

The hearing was brief. His attorney, Joseph Murray, asked federal Judge Joanna Seybert if they could review the documents during August, when the House is on recess. She agreed.

Santos' next status hearing will was set for September 7.

The New York Republican, known for fabricating key parts of his life story, is free awaiting trial.

if you just put enough of it out there. Your Honor."
