Deadline reported on Monday that the network has optioned the rights to author Mark Chiusano’s new book on the disgraced politician.
Chiusano’s book, “The Fabulist: The Lying, Hustling, Grifting, Stealing, and Very American Legend of George Santos,” was published last week.
The unnamed film, now under development, will focus on the meteoric rise of Santos, who won his state’s 3rd Congressional District in last November’s midterm elections.
Santos became a national name after damning reports that he invented much of his biography, followed by criminal charges of financial fraud.
The news of the film project comes just days after the House, in a 311-114-2 tally, voted to expel Santos from Congress Friday, officially ending his tumultuous tenure as a congressman.
Santos has pleaded not guilty to 23 criminal counts on allegations that he misled donors, fraudulently receiving unemployment benefits, inflated his campaign finance reports and charged donors’ credit cards without authorization.
