Disgraced Former Congressman George Santos was sentenced on Friday to 87 months in prison, the maximum sentence contemplated in the case investigating him for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
Santos had pleaded guilty to the charges and told press this week he expected to get the sentence requested by prosecutors. "Right now, my expectation is I'm going to prison for 87 months," Santos told The New York Times on Wednesday, adding that he is "totally resigned." "I came to this world alone. I will deal with it alone, and I will go out alone," he added.
