Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges from a superseding indictment released earlier this month, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York.

Driving the news: U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert set a trial date for Santos for Sept. 9, 2024, according to the attorney's office.

The big picture: The superseding indictment included 10 charges against the embattled Republican, including conspiracy, wire fraud, false statement, falsification of records, aggravated identity theft and credit card fraud.

A group of New York freshman House Republicans on Thursday forced a vote on a resolution to expel Santos from the House after he has repeatedly refused calls to resign.
