Here’s the latest at the end of Wednesday. - Santos charged with fraud - Inflation slows again - Plus, smuggling Fruit Roll-Ups Representative George Santos’s travel will be restricted to New York, Washington and places in between.Gabriela Bhaskar for The New York Times George Santos is charged with fraud Representative George Santos, the New York Republican who campaigned on a life story littered with lies, has been charged by federal prosecutors with 13 counts including money laundering, stealing public money, wire fraud and making false statements to Congress. Santos pleaded not guilty and was released on a $500,000 bond. [He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmPpkYP0ThaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vbGl2ZS8yMDIzLzA1LzEwL255cmVnaW9uL2dlb3JnZS1zYW50b3MtY2hhcmdlcy1uZXdzP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjMwNTEwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTkyMjUxJm5sPXRoZS1ldmVuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMzI2MjEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmRRGBRcZEl6JLRSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). During a chaotic scene outside a federal court on Long Island this afternoon, Santos said the charges were a product of a “witch hunt” and that he would not resign. “I have to keep fighting to defend my innocence,” Santos said, “and I’m going to do that.” Prosecutors say Santos was involved in three separate schemes, but the bulk of the indictment focuses on allegations that Santos directed a political consultant to solicit contributions to a company that he falsely claimed was a political fund. Prosecutors also accuse Santos of fraudulently claiming more than $24,000 in unemployment payments and lying on financial disclosure forms. Santos has been besieged by questions about his background since December, when The Times and other outlets began [reporting on numerous lies about his biography](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmPpkYP0TjaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMi8xOS9ueXJlZ2lvbi9nZW9yZ2Utc2FudG9zLW55LXJlcHVibGljYW5zLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMzA1MTAmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9OTIyNTEmbmw9dGhlLWV2ZW5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEzMjYyMSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZFEYFFxkSXoktFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). It is unlikely that the federal charges will affect his immediate standing in Congress. A growing number of Republicans are calling for his resignation, but House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has signaled that Santos will be allowed to continue to serve. Karl Russell Inflation slowed, again The rise in U.S. consumer prices slowed for a 10th straight month in April — good news for American families and for Washington policymakers who have been working to tame inflation for more than a year. Today’s report showed that the Consumer Price Index [rose 4.9 percent in the year through last month](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmPpkYP0TYaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vbGl2ZS8yMDIzLzA1LzEwL2J1c2luZXNzL2NwaS1pbmZsYXRpb24tZmVkP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjMwNTEwJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTkyMjUxJm5sPXRoZS1ldmVuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xMzI2MjEmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmRRGBRcZEl6JLRSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~), less than some economists expected, offering further evidence that inflation is slowing down. Still, many experts warn that the road back to normal inflation — around 2 percent a year — remains a long one. “It’s great news that we’re down to 4.9 percent, but it’s bad news that we’re still up at 4.9 percent,” my colleague Jeanna Smialek told me. “There’s this big concern that we’ve already eaten all the low hanging fruit that helped get inflation down from 9 percent, where it was last summer.” Costs for new cars and gas, which for many months drove inflation up, have moderated, helping to bring overall inflation down. Price increases for services, which are typically harder to tamp down, are now the driving force behind inflation. Sarahbeth Maney/The New York Times F.D.A. advisers favor an over-the-counter birth control pill A panel of health experts said that the benefits of making a birth control pill available without a prescription outweigh the risks.

The decades-long push to make an over-the-counter pill available has garnered support from specialists in reproductive and adolescent health. While some Catholic organizations have spoken out against nonprescription birth control, most anti-abortion groups have been quiet on the issue.

EVENING WIND DOWN Adele James plays Cleopatra in the Netflix show.Netflix Was Cleopatra Black? Soon after the trailer for the Netflix series “African Queens” appeared last month, the show was attacked by the Egyptian media and the government, which called its portrayal of Cleopatra a “falsification of Egyptian history.” The issue at hand: Cleopatra is [played by a Black actress](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRmPpkYP0TraHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wNS8xMC93b3JsZC9taWRkbGVlYXN0L2NsZW9wYXRyYS1uZXRmbGl4LXJhY2UtZWd5cHQuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NyZlbWM9ZWRpdF9uZV8yMDIzMDUxMCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD05MjI1MSZubD10aGUtZXZlbmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTMyNjIxJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkURgUXGRJeiS0Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). Evidence of Cleopatra’s ancestry and physical attributes are inconclusive. Netflix’s casting is a reflection of Western arguments over Black representation in Hollywood and whether history is too dominated by white narratives that revolve around European primacy. But it has stirred up a very different debate in Egyptian society, which often prizes light skin and where many view identity and race through another lens. For many Egyptians, the question is whether Egyptians and their ancient ancestors — geographical location notwithstanding — are African.
