In a bizarre twist that only George Santos could deliver, the former Congressman from New York’s 3rd District is reportedly set to plead guilty to federal charges today. But there’s a catch—Santos has informed prosecutors that they might have a tough time seeing him in court. Why? Because, according to him, he’s now invisible.

Yes, you read that right. The same George Santos who once claimed to have graduated from universities he never attended, worked at companies that never employed him, and even concocted an entire life story that would make a Hollywood screenwriter blush, is now adding a new chapter to his fantastical tale: invisibility.

“How can they prosecute someone they can’t see?” Santos reportedly said in a statement released by his office, which is still somehow operational despite his dramatic expulsion from Congress last year. “I’ve always been transparent—literally, as of now.”

The expected plea would mark the end of a nearly two-year saga that began with Santos’s successful bid for Congress, where he managed to convince voters he was the perfect candidate for New York’s 3rd Congressional District. It wasn’t until after he won the seat that the truth—or lack thereof—about his resume started to unravel, leading to federal charges including wire fraud, money laundering, and making false statements.

After his removal from Congress, Santos maintained his innocence, at least until recently when rumors began circulating that he would be changing his plea. However, this latest claim of invisibility has thrown the legal community into a tailspin.

Legal experts are scratching their heads over how to handle the situation. “If Santos is indeed invisible, it presents a unique challenge for the judicial process,” said one baffled attorney. “We’ve never had to question a defendant who could be standing right in front of us—or not.”

Meanwhile, US District Judge Joanna Seybert, who is presiding over the case in the Eastern District of New York, has reportedly ordered a full investigation into the claim. Sources close to the court say that a team of top scientists is being assembled to determine the veracity of Santos’s newfound invisibility—an assignment they’re approaching with a mix of skepticism and sheer bewilderment.

As for Santos, he’s sticking to his story. “They can’t convict what they can’t see,” he added in his statement, with what one can only imagine was a wink—or at least the ghost of one. “I’ve always been one step ahead of the game, and now I’m out of sight.”

Prosecutors, for their part, are not amused. “This is just another attempt by Mr. Santos to evade justice,” one source close to the case remarked. “Whether he’s visible or not, we’re determined to hold him accountable.”

As the nation waits for the next chapter in the George Santos saga, one thing is clear: in the world of George Santos, the line between reality and fiction has long since disappeared—much like, apparently, the man himself.
