- A federal judge ruled on Tuesday to unseal the identities of individuals who cosigned fabulist Republican Congressman George Santos’s (R-NY) $500,000 bond in his ongoing criminal fraud case.
- The ruling in favor of media organization petitions comes a day after Santos’s attorney argued for the judge to keep the cosigners under seal.
- “My client would rather surrender to pretrial detainment than subject these suretors to what will inevitably come,” Murray added, insisting Santos would rather go to jail than have those names unsealed.
- “We truly fear for their health, safety, and well being,” Murray declared.
