The plea deal comes a few weeks before Santos was set to stand trial in New York … and while the deal likely means there will be no trial, it remains to be seen how the judge will treat George at the sentencing.
George was in court Monday in Central Islip, NY … reportedly copping to using a campaign donor’s credit cards for his own personal use between September and October 2022.
