George Santos's Sentencing Postponed as Former Congressman Seeks Funds for Fines

Credited from: THEGUARDIAN

  • George Santos, the former congressman, has won a delay in his sentencing on federal fraud charges, moving it from February 7 to April 25.
  • Judge Joanna Seybert described the postponement as a "one-time courtesy” to allow Santos to raise the estimated $580,000 needed for fines.
  • Santos admitted to committing fraud, including identity theft and deceiving voters, leading to a plea deal with a minimum two-year sentence.
  • His legal team argues he needs more time to develop his podcast, Pants on Fire, to help pay the fines, though prosecutors criticize this claim as “speculative”.
  • Santos, who was expelled from Congress, claimed he has only $1,000 in liquid assets, despite earning over $800,000 since leaving office.
