George Santos fights to keep bail sponsor identities secret.

Republican Rep. George Santos of New York has filed an appeal to keep the names of those who helped him make the $500,000 bond in his federal criminal fraud case sealed. Santos' lawyers argue that the people who helped him post the bond would likely have to withdraw from serving as his bond supporters if their names are released. The federal judge in New York granted a request from media organizations to make public the identities of three people who signed the bond for Santos' release after his indictment, but said their names should remain hidden for now to allow him to appeal.
