“Former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., is facing more than seven years in prison after federal prosecutors asked a judge to hand the disgraced congressman an 87-month sentence. Santos deserves the prison sentence for ‘unparallelled crimes,’ the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York wrote in a court filing earlier in the week. The 36-year-old last August pleaded guilty to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges, avoiding a trial. The U.S. House of Representatives expelled Santos from Congress in December 2023.” (04/05/25)
