Rep. George Santos is being accused of stealing COVID-19 unemployment aid, among other charges.
In March, he co-sponsored a bill that incentivizes states to recoup money lost through unemployment fraud.
The House is expected to vote on the bill this week.

Among the wide range of charges Rep. George Santos faces, the New York congressman is being accused of the very crime he hoped to address when he co-sponsored a bill this March that aims to tackle unemployment fraud committed during the pandemic.
