Santos is next scheduled to appear in court on June 30.
Rep. George Santos' $500,000 bond guarantors were revealed to be his father and aunt, according to court documents.

Santos is facing a 13-count indictment accusing him of fraud, money laundering, and theft of public funds. His attorney previously expressed a preference for Santos to go to jail rather than release the names of the bail backers to the public, but a judge ordered the names to be made public. Santos has refused to resign and plans to seek a second term.

Santos faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison on the top counts if convicted and the potential forfeiture of his assets. Santos has ignored calls to resign and has announced he is seeking reelection.

Santos was released on bond last month after pleading not guilty to 13 federal charges, including wire fraud, money laundering, and theft of public funds.

The GOP lawmaker was indicted in May on 13 criminal charges, including fraud, money laundering, and theft. Santos' lawyer argued that the guarantors' privacy interests are far more concerning, especially considering their ages and respective employment, and that they have already faced a "media frenzy and hateful attacks" since Santos was indicted.
