As his political career nosedived, prosecutors charged Santos with 23 federal counts over several criminal schemes. He took a deal last summer that included pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.

As part of his plea deal, Santos admitted to filing false campaign finance reports, charging donors’ credit cards without authorization and fraudulently receiving unemployment benefits, among other things, saying he was taking responsibility for the “lies I have told myself.”

He also agreed as part of the deal to pay nearly $374,000 in restitution and a forfeiture judgment of roughly $205,000.
