NEW YORK >> Rep. George Santos has entered talks with prosecutors about “possible paths forward” in his fraud case, an indication that the parties may be considering a plea deal.

In a letter filed Tuesday, prosecutors in the Eastern District of New York notified the judge that they intended this week to file a batch of new evidence against Santos, a Republican representing parts of Long Island and Queens.

In their request to delay a court conference set for Thursday, prosecutors wrote that they anticipated making “another substantial production” of evidence this week and wanted to give Santos time to review the material.

They added that the parties “have continued to discuss possible paths forward in this matter” and would need “additional time to continue those discussions.” They asked that the status conference be pushed to Oct. 27.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Eastern District declined to comment, as did Santos’ congressional staff.

Santos’ personal lawyer did not immediately respond.

Santos earned infamy late last year after revelations that he had invented swaths of his personal history and was accused of being involved in a series of petty schemes. He is facing 13 felony counts, including money laundering, wire fraud and theft of public funds, and has pleaded not guilty.
