Secret Service has declaration of Brazilian ATM thief who reportedly says George Santos "in charge" of skimming operation

The U.S. Secret Service has received and is reviewing a sworn declaration from a Brazilian man who claims Rep. George Santos was "in charge of" a fraud scheme that led to the man's arrest in 2017 for installing skimmers at a Seattle bank ATM, a person familiar with the matter confirmed to CBS News.

Santos was interviewed in 2017 by Secret Service investigators, and the probe remains open, according to two sources.

The declaration is a "significant" development, A.T. Smith, a former deputy director of the Secret Service said.
