The ex-campaign treasurer for U.S. Rep. George Santos will plead guilty on Thursday to an unspecified felony in connection with the sprawling federal investigation of financial irregularities surrounding the indicted New York Republican, prosecutors said.
Nancy Marks, a veteran Long Island political operative, served as the campaign treasurer and close aide to Santos during his two congressional bids. Marks resigned amid growing questions about Santos’ campaign finances and revelations Santos had fabricated much of his life story.
Yet the American taxpayers are still paying this lying piece of crap representative $174,000 a year.
Don’t forget the lifetime monthly check for him, then his spouse, plus totally free top tier medical for the rest of their lives, also.
Members are only eligible for a pension after spending 20 years of service in the house and have to be at least 50. Where would he get a lifetime check from? Neither do they get healthcare for life. I hate the scumbag as much as the next guy but let’s not make stuff up.
If I’m reading it correctly, It’s five years to be vested plus 15 years of other federal service which could be served in Congress or any other federal job to include military.
They have the same pension plans as every other federal employee. But again, where would he be getting a check from? He has 10 months in office and no other federal service as far as I’m aware.
I hadn’t heard anything about him in so long I assumed he’d been in jail
Honestly same
Kinda amazing since Santos says he never met the guy…
Judge George Santos will give him a light sentence.
Every pic of this guy looks like a poster child for mental illness.
His face looks particularly punchable here
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nancy Marks, a veteran Long Island political operative, served as the campaign treasurer and close aide to Santos during his two congressional bids.
The investigation of Santos, a first-term congressman, has also engulfed Marks, a key behind-the-scenes figure in Long Island Republican politics who built a business as a treasurer and consultant to dozens of local, state and federal candidates.
Any deal with prosecutors that requires Marks to testify in the case against Santos could be a severe blow to the Republican, who faces charges that he embezzled money from his campaign, lied in financial disclosures submitted to Congress and received unemployment funds when he wasn’t eligible.
While Santos has admitted fabricating key parts about his purported background as a wealthy, well-educated businessman, questions remain about what he did for work, as well as the true source of more than $700,000 he initially claimed to have loaned his campaign from his own personal fortune.
Santos has pleaded not guilty to charges he duped donors, stole from his campaign and lied to Congress about being a millionaire, all while cheating to collect unemployment benefits he didn’t deserve.
But the indictment described an unnamed political consultant who it said had helped dupe donors who gave money that they thought was going to the campaign but was instead siphoned off for Santos’ personal use.
