NEW YORK — Lying Rep. George Santos has until noon Thursday to decide whether he’ll go to jail to shield the names of the people who helped him post his $500,000 bond.
Santos and his lawyer have been fighting to keep secret the names of the people who secured his bond in his federal fraud case, but on Tuesday a Long Island U.S. District Court Judge sided with several media outlets and ordered that their names must come out.
Santos’ lawyer Joseph Murray said in a previous court filing that the first-term congressman would rather go to jail and let the suretors back out than be forced to reveal their names.
