Former congressman George Santos is set to be sentenced for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, facing a minimum of two years in prison. Federal prosecutors are pushing for 87 months in order to safeguard the public from future offenses. Santos's defense argues for a 24-month sentence, citing the non-violent nature of his crimes, which they claim stemmed from desperation during his political campaign. Judge Joanna Seybert will weigh the severity of the actions and Santos's expression of remorse before finalizing the sentence and determining the custody arrangement.
"Santos will be sentenced to a prison term of no less than two years after pleading guilty to charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft."
"Federal prosecutors have asked the judge to impose a sentence of 87 months to protect the public from being defrauded by Santos again."
