Former US Representative George Santos pleaded guilty to criminal corruption charges on Monday.
The disgraced New York lawmaker appeared in a Long Island court where he admitted wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
In a statement, prosecutors said his "flagrant and disgraceful conduct has been exposed and will be punished".
Santos could now face time behind bars.
