Disgraced former MAGA congressman George Santos was sentenced on Friday to over seven years in federal prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Santos, 36, admitted to deceiving donors, stealing identities, and misusing campaign funds — actions that led to his expulsion from Congress and national notoriety. Federal prosecutors sought the maximum 87-month sentence, arguing that Santos showed little remorse and continued to downplay his crimes online.
