Bogosian told CNN she was not licensed to practice in Pennsylvania and could not represent Santos in the matter. She said she was later informed by the now-congressman that the charges were dropped.

A spokesman for the York County District Attorney’s ofce told CNN said the case against Santos was listed as “withdrawn or dismissed.” Bogosian told CNN she plans to “expose him to the fullest degree” after the congressman’s false- hoods have been revealed.
The FBI is currently investigating Santos’ role in allegedly scamming a homeless, disabled veteran out of thousands of dollars that would have been used to care for the man’s service dog.
Richard Osthof said that he met Santos, who introduced himself as Anthony Devolder, in 2016 while living in a tent on the side of a New Jersey highway.
Osthof’s service dog, Sapphire, was sufering from a life-threatening stomach tumor, treatment for which would cost $3,000, the veteran told Patch.
A veterinary technician told Osthof to use
Friends of Pets United, a pet charity headed up by Santos under the Anthony Devolder alias.
Osthof said he never saw any of the funds after a GoFundMe was set up and subsequently deleted once it got close to hitting the $3,000 goal.
Sapphire died in January 2017, he said.
“I went through two bouts of seriously considering suicide, but thinking about leaving her without me saved my life,” Osthof told Patch. “I loved that dog so much, I inhaled her last breaths when I had her euthanized.”
Osthof said Santos informed him that the money would not be used for Sapphire, but rather “for other dogs.”

“It’s a lot of fun serving the kids and just listening to them in the cafeteria. That’s the best feeling for me. I could produce everything out in the world, but if they’re not eating it, it doesn’t matter. These kids are actually eating it.”
Levin added that this is not possible without his kitchen staf, including high school cook Basma Hanasy, who makes all the sauces and marinades every day, comes in at 6:30 a.m. and is always deep in cooking when Levin arrives later in the morning.
“They really cook with their heart and their love,” Levin said. “From top to bottom, from head cook in each kitchen to food service worker, they are hands down the best staf around.”
Since Levin has assumed his position as food service director, he said his goal is to get as many local, New York State products he can source and serve to his students. He said this is because local ingredients are fresher, better for the environment and good for local farmers and businesses.
“There’s more to this than just serving fsh,” Levin said.
In the future, Levin plans to add even more locally sourced products in his cafeterias. He said his next plan is whole chickens raised in New York.
