Former GOP Rep. George Santos has been sentenced to 87 months in prison.
Per fox news:
Former New York GOP Rep. George Santos was sentenced to 87 months in federal court Friday in connection with his wire fraud and identity theft case. Santos was sobbing during the sentencing.
"Today, George Santos was finally held accountable for the mountain of lies, theft, and fraud he perpetrated," John Durham, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said in a statement released. "For the defendant, it was judgment day, and for his many victims including campaign donors, political parties, government agencies, elected bodies, his own family members, and his constituents, it is justice."
Santos has to pay just under $600,000 in penalties.
"I’m doing as well as any human being would be doing given the circumstances," Santos told the Associated Press Thursday ahead of his sentencing. "I will be in court tomorrow, ready to face the music."
