George Santos in Plea Deal Talks with Prosecutors: Scared of Jail

Former New York Representative George Santos is reportedly engaged in plea negotiations with federal prosecutors to potentially resolve his pending criminal fraud case. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn disclosed this information in a court filing, stating that the parties aim to reach a resolution without going to trial. Santos, who was expelled from Congress in December, is facing charges of wire fraud, identity theft, and making false statements. His trial is currently scheduled for September, but prosecutors have requested an earlier start in May or June.

George Santos Fights to Keep Bond Guarantors' Identities Secret

New York Rep. George Santos has filed an appeal to keep the names of the two people who co-signed a $500,000 unsecured bond in his criminal fraud case sealed, after a judge ruled their identities should be made public. Santos' lawyer argued that the two guarantors were family members and it was "very likely" they would withdraw as bond supporters if their names were unveiled publicly, which could subject Santos to "more onerous conditions of release" or even pretrial detention. The judge's decision was a victory for news outlets, including The Associated Press and The New York Times, who had requested the names be unsealed, citing a need for "the greatest transparency possible."
