The campaign fundraiser for embattled New York Republican Rep. George Santos pleaded guilty to a federal wire fraud charge as part of a plea deal Tuesday.
Sam Miele – who worked for the Santos campaign during the 2020 and 2022 election cycles – was indicted by a federal grand jury in August and accused of soliciting contributions from more than a dozen potential contributors using former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy aide’s identity in phone and email communications.
In addition to the guilty plea, Miele also stipulated to committing access device fraud, in a loss of approximately $100,000, according to a spokesperson for Eastern District US Attorney’s office.
I wonder how well this staffer can sing.
(Santos’s singing ability is not in doubt, he did open for for Linkin Park on several tours, after all…)
If he pleaded guilty to it then you don’t have to use the phrase “who prosecutors say”. You can just state directly that “he did X”.
It’s the headline for the CNN article.
