Lying Long Island Rep. George Santos’ former campaign treasurer Nancy Marks is expected to plead guilty in federal court later Thursday to an unspecified offense.

A rep for the Eastern District of New York confirmed to The Post that Marks will appear before US District Judge Joanna Seybert at 3 p.m. in Central Islip.

Marks resigned in late January from the Santos campaign as federal investigators began examining the now-35-year-old’s expenditures during his successful 2022 run for Congress.

Specifically, Marks has faced questions about the congressman’s unusual campaign filings, including a series of $199.99 expenses, just below the legal limit for disclosure.

Santos (R-NY), in turn, has sought to pin the blame for his unexplained finances on Marks, who he claims “went rogue.”

“I am not aware of this. I’m too busy,” Santos told The Post when asked for comment.

Santos faces a 13-count federal indictment centered on charges of money laundering and lying to Congress in an earlier financial disclosure.

In early February 2022, Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin announced he was starting a new political action committee without employing the services of Marks, with whom he had worked since 2010.
