After pleading not guilty in May to charges of wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and making false statements, Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y. was released on a $500,000 bond. When pressed at the time to name who signed for his bond, he stated that he'd rather go to jail than do so.
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Joanna Seybert ordered for Santos' court docs to be unsealed, revealing the identities of the individuals who sprung him as being his father, Gercino dos Santos and his aunt, Elma Preven, according to NBC News, much to the chagrin of Santos and his lawyer.
