NEW YORK — Convicted con man and ex-congressman George Santos sat in a Brooklyn courtroom Thursday and watched another con artist admit to a harebrained scheme to trick the former Queens lawmaker out of $900,000.
Santos sat in the gallery of Brooklyn Federal Court looking on as Hector Medina, 37, told a judge how he reached out to Santos the lying former legislator and other “high-profile” people in criminal trouble, offering to make their charges go away for large sums of cash.
Medina was busted in March for the scheme after spending two months in the summer of 2023 sending the notorious fibber unsolicited video and text messages advertising his so-called skills as a fixer.
Santos called the court case “the last pending issue I had as a member of Congress.”
“We have the right to oversight over the government, and it felt like unfinished business since my untimely departure,” Santos told reporters.
