Nancy Marks, who has served as a campaign treasurer to some of New York’s most powerful Republican politicians, admitted committing wire fraud and other crimes. Santos is due back in court Oct. 27.
The former campaign treasurer who helped shepherd scandal-plagued New York Congressman George Santos into office pleaded guilty today to federal felony charges in a Long Island courtroom.
Nancy Marks could face up to five years behind bars after admitting to conspiring with a congressional candidate to commit wire fraud, make false statements and commit identify theft, among other crimes.
She didn’t speak to reporters after the hearing in Central Islip, New York.
Her former boss, George Santos, who won a first term in 2022 has announced he’s seeking re-election. He faces 13 felony counts as part of the same federal inquiry that led to Marks’ plea.
Santos, who is expected back in court Oct. 27, has acknowledged lying to voters about much of his personal history.
He invented stories about family members who survived the Holocaust and creating a fictional narrative about his education and professional accomplishments, among other things.
