A federal judge has granted the request to unseal records revealing bond helpers in Rep. George Santos' fraud case.
A federal judge in New York has granted the request to reveal the identities of individuals who assisted Rep. George Santos in posting a $500,000 bond for his criminal fraud case.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Anne Shields’ ruling came a day after Santos’ lawyer said the New York Republican would risk going to jail to protect the identities of his cosigners whose backing enabled his pretrial release. Santos’ lawyer, Joseph Murray, urged Shields to keep the names secret. He suggested that the congressman’s cosigners could "suffer great distress," including possible job losses and physical harm, if they’re identified publicly.
Santos, 34, represents parts of Queens and Long Island. He pleaded not guilty May 10 to charges he duped donors, stole from his campaign, lied to Congress about being a millionaire and cheated to collect unemployment benefits he didn’t deserve.
