The former campaign treasurer to Rep. George Santos of New York will plead guilty Thursday in connection with a pending criminal case against the congressman, a federal court filing showed.
The felony charge or charges against the former treasurer, Nancy Marks, were not disclosed in the filing in U.S. District Court in Central Islip, New York.
Santos was charged in May with a 13-count federal indictment in the same court accusing him of campaign finance fraud, money laundering and other crimes.
The freshman lawmaker has pleaded not guilty and vowed not to resign from Congress.
Marks is scheduled to appear before a judge in the Long Island court at 3 p.m. ET.
A spokesman for U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York declined to say what Marks will plead guilty to.
Separately, a former fundraiser for Santos was charged in August in the same federal court with impersonating a top aide to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy while seeking campaign donations.
Attorneys for the former fundraiser, Samuel Miele, are in negotiations with federal prosecutors about a possible plea deal.
A defense lawyer for Santos did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Marks.
