Santos was questioned by U.S. Secret Service in 2017 credit card fraud probe

Santos was questioned by U.S. Secret Service in 2017 credit card fraud probe

When George Santos' Florida address was found in 2017 inside a rental car used by the suspect in an ATM skimming investigation, the United States Secret Service came knocking.

Investigators from the agency located Santos in New York City, the future congressman's hometown, where they interviewed him as part of a probe into international credit card fraud, according to two sources familiar with the federal investigation. The Secret Service conducts investigations into crimes against the financial system that have a national scope.

Santos voluntarily surrendered two cellphones at the Secret Service's New York field office, where the interview took place, according to the two sources familiar with the investigation. While Santos's connection to the case remains unclear, and the case remains open, he was not identified as a suspect of the investigation, the two sources told CBS News.

I guess Santos was on Piers Morgan yucking it up and leaning in on how he owned the Libs by getting away with being a complete fraud.

All this attention by the MSM is a day late and a dollar short. Cause the Conservatives are laughing at us now.

Maybe the GQP is chortling about pwning the Democrats but there are lots of independent voters who are not amused by government representatives acting like middle school bullies. Hopefully they will decide to vote for the serious adults.
