Federal prosecutors have recommended a more than seven-year sentence for George Santos, a former Congressman found guilty of felony wire fraud and identity theft. The Justice Department highlighted a pattern of deceit, including fabricating biographical details and exploiting vulnerable victims through fraudulent schemes. Santos, expelled from Congress following an ethics review, reportedly exploited campaign funds for personal luxuries while perpetuating lies about his education and professional background. Sentencing is set for April 25, underscoring the serious repercussions of his actions in degrading electoral integrity.
Federal prosecutors are urging a judge to sentence disgraced gay former New York Congressman George Santos to more than seven years in prison, calling him a "pathological liar and fraudster" who "made a mockery of our election system."
The government laid out in sweeping detail Santos's "assortment of fraudulent schemes," from stealing the identities of elderly donors to submitting falsified campaign finance documents and fabricating most of his biography.
