House GOP leaders react to Santos indictment: 'There is a legal process'
Fox News
House Republican leaders declined to call for Rep. George Santos' resignation following his federal indictment, preferring to let the "legal process" play out.
A 13-count indictment was made public Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York charging Santos with seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.

The indictment was returned Tuesday under seal by a federal grand jury sitting in Central Islip, New York. Santos was arrested Wednesday morning and will be arraigned in the afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Arlene R. Lindsay at the federal courthouse in Central Islip. He currently is being held at that federal courthouse.
