- 2:10George Santos pleads guilty, faces up to 2 years in prisonReuters VideosSTORY: The expelled former U.S. lawmaker George Santos pled guilty in court on Monday (August 19) and now faces prison time. Charges against him include one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. The latter carries a mandatory two-year prison sentence. The plea caps off Santos’ downfall, a novice politician who was ousted from Congress after a short time in office marked by scandal. The 36-year-old’s voice shook as he read from a statement after leaving court: "It has been the proudest achievement of my life to represent you. And I believe I did so to the best of my ability. But you also trusted me to represent you with honor and to uphold the values that are essential to our democracy. And in that regard, I failed you." Santos was hit with federal charges in May last year including laundering campaign funds to pay for his personal expenses, charging donors' credit cards without their consent. A bipartisan investigation by the House Ethics Committee found he spent campaign money on Botox, luxury brands such as Hermes, and OnlyFans, an online platform known for sexual content. The federal indictment led lawmakers to expel Santos from the U.S. House last December. He’s admitted to all wrongdoing described in the indictment as part of a plea deal even though he only plead guilty to two of the 23 counts. U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said Monday the voters who elected Santos were "badly deceived". "They came to learn that they were victims of a fraud of unprecedented proportion and they had to watch helplessly while Santos rode into Congress on a campaign of lies." Santos spent the bulk of his 11 months in office engulfed in scandal, sidelined by other lawmakers and the butt of jokes by late-night TV comedians. During his campaign, Santos made several claims that were not true: That he attended New York University, that he had worked at Goldman Sachs and Citigroup, and that his grandparents had fled the Nazis during World War Two. Santos' seat was filled in a special election in February by Democrat Tom Suozzi.24 hours ago
- 1:17Iran tried to hack Trump, Harris campaigns FBI concludesReuters VideosSTORY: US intelligence officials say Iran is to blame for cyber attacks on both American presidential campaigns. On Monday the FBI and two other agencies said in a joint statement - they had seen "increasingly aggressive" Iranian cyber activities this election cycle. They also said Iran had carried out influence operations to fan political divisions and, quote, "cyber operations targeting presidential campaigns." It backs up charges made by the campaign of Donald Trump earlier this month that Iran had hacked one of its websites. Those accusations triggered an FBI investigation. Trump, at that time, said Iran was "only able to get publicly available information." Officials also say that Iran targeted Kamala Harris's campaign, ahead of her Democratic presidential nomination acceptance this week. They revealed that Iranian operatives used social engineering to access key campaign figures, leading to theft and leaks aimed at swaying the election. Iran's mission to the UN dismissed the allegations as "unsubstantiated," insisting it has no intention or motive to interfere in the US presidential election.1 day ago
