George Santos set for federal fraud trial appearance on Monday. Here's the latest on a possible plea deal.

NEW YORK -- Disgraced former Congressman George Santos is expected to plead guilty Monday in federal court on Long Island to some of the 23 counts against him in his fraud case.

The counts include wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, making false statements to the Federal Election Commission and identity theft.

"Certainly, it's not in the public's benefit to go through that whole charade," former Long Island Republican Rep. Peter King said. "To me, the sooner he's gone, the better."
