Submit it online and it's electronic communications fraud. Wire fraud.

Find the facts and file the charges.

Rep.-elect Dan Goldman, a prosecutor for the first impeachment of President Donald Trump and a former assistant U.S. attorney in the Manhattan-based Southern District of New York, said Tuesday that the U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn should investigate Santos.

Goldman, a Democrat, said in a statement that the allegations in the Times reporting suggest potential false statements to the Federal Election Commission and the charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States.

"The fact that Santos has previously been convicted of fraud in Brazil — from which conviction he remains a fugitive — underscores the urgent need for his conduct surrounding his most recent election to be investigated," Goldman said.
