Federal prosecutors on Monday said in a court filing that they are “engaged in plea negotiations” with former Rep. George Santos of New York to potentially resolve his pending criminal fraud case.

The disclosure came in a letter from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn to Judge Joanna Seybert, proposing a joint agenda with Santos’ lawyer for a previously scheduled status conference Tuesday in Long Island federal court.

“The parties are presently engaged in plea negotiations with the goal of resolving this matter without the need for a trial,” prosecutors wrote.

“The parties wish to continue those negotiations over the next thirty days.”

1. I haven't seen the charges... but my guess is he gets a minimum sentence

and then signs a 6 figure "tell all" book and movie deal.

a "Catch Me If You Can" type book.

2. He is one hell of a con man.
