Rep. George Santos' Family Members Bail Him Out of Federal Fraud Case

Congressman George Santos, who is facing federal fraud charges, was bailed out by his father and aunt who secured a $500,000 bond for his release. The unsecured bond means they don't have to put up property as collateral but are on the hook to pay up if he skips court. Santos had fought to keep their identities secret, but a federal judge unsealed the court records related to his bond, citing the public's right to know. Santos is accused of wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds, and making false statements to Congress.
