Ex-Congressman George Santos faces up to 7 years in prison at sentencing
Briefly

George Santos, the former U.S. Representative, is set to be sentenced for fraud and identity theft after admitting to deceiving donors and stealing identities to fund his campaign. Prosecutors are seeking a seven-year sentence, citing his lack of remorse, while Santos argues for a two-year sentence, depicting harshness in the proposed punishment. Despite his claims of being 'sorry' for his actions, he continues to portray himself as a victim. Santos has agreed to pay approximately $580,000 in penalties as part of a plea deal.
"I'm doing as well as any human being would be doing given the circumstances. I will be in court tomorrow, ready to face the music."
Prosecutors argue Santos 'remains unrepentant' and has not shown genuine remorse, citing his comments on social media where he portrays himself as a victim.
