Disgraced former US Rep. George Santos to begin serving his 7-year fraud sentence
Disgraced former US Rep. George Santos to begin serving his 7-year fraud sentence (Associated Press)NEW YORK (AP) — Disgraced former U.S. Rep. George Santos is expected to begin serving a seven-year prison sentence on Friday for the fraud charges that got him ousted from Congress.
The New York Republican pleaded guilty last summer to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges for deceiving donors and stealing people’s identities in order to fund his congressional campaign.
He must report to federal prison before 2 p.m. It’s unclear where he’ll serve his time, though a federal judge has recommended that Santos be housed in a facility in the Northeast.
