Judge Orders Release of George Santos' Bail Co-Signers' Names
A judge has ruled that the identities of the trio who paid embattled congressman George Santos' $500,000 bail must be publicly revealed. Santos, a Republican from New York, has been charged with defrauding his campaign supporters, lying to obtain unemployment money, and making false statements on congressional disclosure forms. His lawyers argued that the names should not be made public, citing concerns for their safety. Santos has until Friday to appeal the decision, after which the names will be unsealed.
