George Santos' Bail Guarantors Must Be Revealed After Ruling Loss

A federal magistrate judge has ruled against Representative George Santos's request to keep private the identities of people who guaranteed his $500,000 bail bond last month, but delayed their release to allow the New York congressman time to appeal. The decision came after media organizations, including The New York Times, requested their release. Santos's lawyer had firmly opposed disclosing the names of the so-called sureties, arguing that they were "likely to suffer great distress, may lose their jobs, and God forbid, may suffer physical injury."
