Former congressman George Santos, who pleaded guilty to federal fraud and identity theft charges, has been granted a delay in his sentencing by a New York judge. Santos requested the delay to have more time to come up with over half a million dollars in court fines, including from his work on a new podcast.
The sentencing, originally scheduled for February 7, has been rescheduled to April 25, a three-month extension from Santos' request. The judge emphasized that this adjournment is a one-time courtesy in the interest of justice.
