    George Santos pleads guilty to multiple federal fraud counts

    Ex-Republican congressman was known for this outlandish lies and
    fantasies peddled throughout his short career

    Former Republican congressman George Santos pleaded guilty to
    committing wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in a federal fraud
    case marking yet another low point for a politician famed for the
    outlandish lies and fantasies he peddled during his short but high
    profile political career.

    "I understand that my actions have betrayed my supporters and
    constituents," Santos said in an emotional statement during the
    hearing. "I am committed to making amends and learning from this
    experience."

    The disgraced ex-congressman faces a two-year mandatory minimum
    sentence under federal guidelines, but in court US district judge
    Joanna Seybert estimated a possible sentencing range between six and
    eight years when he returns to court again on 7 February.
