Disgraced ex-U.S. Rep. George Santos should serve at least eight years behind bars after pleading guilty to fraud and identity theft charges, federal prosecutors said in court documents released Friday night.
Santos pleaded guilty in August to two of the 23 criminal counts he faced for inflating fundraising numbers and faking donor names to qualify for financial support from the Republican Party during the 2022 election cycle, when the political newcomer was elected to represent a slice of New York City and its eastern suburbs.
