Pathological liar Rep. “George Santos” was charged with theft in Pennsylvania’s Amish Country in 2017 after a series of bad checks were written in his name to dog breeders, according to the lawyer who aided Santos’ response to the charge and now regrets helping him.
“I should have let him go to hell,” that attorney, Tiffany Bogosian, told CNBC in a phone interview Thursday.
Bogosian affirmed the accuracy of Politico’s new reporting that Santos was charged with theft by deception after multiple bounced checks were written in his name to dog breeders in Pennsylvania.
Santos had claimed that someone had stolen his checkbook and written checks totaling thousands of dollars — including multiple that were made out for “puppies,” according to Bogosian, who provided screenshots of the checks and corresponding bank statements.
Days after those checks were cut, Santos held a pet-adoption event at a Staten Island pet store with his purported pet charity, Friends of Pets United, Politico reported, citing the store’s Instagram account and a person who attended the event.
The attorney said she no longer believes Santos’ story that someone had stolen his checkbook and written checks totaling thousands of dollars
Santos told her one of his checkbooks had gone missing in 2017, and that he had canceled it as soon as he noticed it was gone. Bogosian reached out to a Pennsylvania state police trooper to explain Santos’ situation as he had described it, arguing that Santos was clearly a victim of fraud but hadn’t realized it until he was served the warrant.
Bogosian recalled Santos telling her that, a week after their February 2020 meeting, he had gone to Pennsylvania and told prosecutors he worked for the Securities and Exchange Commission and had successfully persuaded them to drop the charges.
Congresspeople introduce resolution to throw George Santos out of Congress
George Santos is a total fraud who deceived his voters to get elected to Congress. His presence in Congress is a stain on the institution and if he will not resign then he must be removed.

Rep. @RobertGarcia on Rep. George Santos: “We’re going to demand a vote. […] We want to know also where Kevin McCarthy stands. Clearly, he’s giving him access to classified briefings — unacceptable. It’s time to expel George Santos.” https://t.co/bVpL2WEi0E pic.twitter.com/dyBw0TUNN2
