George Santos Sentenced to 7+ Years in Prison

HeadlineApr 28, 2025

Expelled Republican Congressmember George Santos was sentenced Friday to more than seven years in prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. The disgraced former New York congressmember was ousted from the House in 2023 after less than a year in office. His brief political career was defined by numerous fabrications about his personal and professional lives, and campaign finance fraud.
