Ex-treasurer in Santos case pleads guilty to conspiracy
Nancy Marks, long-time aide and treasurer for U. S. Representative George Santos, pleaded guilty on a fraud conspiracy charge in a Long Island federal court. She admitted fabricating a $500,000 loan and fake donor lists to embellish campaign finances, a move she says aimed to attract more funding and misled the FEC. The plea carries a 3.5 to 4 year recommended sentence and could implicate Santos further in a broader probe into his finances and disclosures.
