George Santos fights to keep identities of bail sponsors secret amid mounting criticism.

Rep. George Santos has asked a judge to keep sealed the names of the people who cosigned his $500,000 bond in his criminal fraud case, citing a "media frenzy." Media organizations have requested the court to unseal the names, arguing that there is a public right to access the records. Santos's attorney said the congressman would rather be detained ahead of his trial than allow his bail sponsors' names to become public. Santos was indicted on 13 federal criminal charges, including counts of wire fraud and money laundering, and pleaded not guilty.
