Former congressman George Santos, who was expelled from Congress in December and indicted on 23 federal charges, reached a plea agreement with prosecutors.
The House has voted to expel Republican Rep. George Santos of New York following a critical ethics report on his conduct that included converting campaign donations for his own use.
New York Rep. George Santos has been charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, false statements, falsification of records, and other charges.
Sources tell CBS News Santos is expected in court Wednesday.
The case was ultimately dismissed after George Santos said the nine checks were from a checkbook that had been stolen from him.
The Republican has apologized, but says even though he lied, he will not step down.
