TL;DR Summary

Newly unsealed court records reveal that two family members of indicted GOP Rep. George Santos cosigned the $500,000 bond that allowed him to go free as his criminal case proceeds. Santos' father and aunt signed on as suretors guaranteeing the unsecured bond when he was charged last month, and their identities had been hidden until Thursday.
