CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) — Disgraced former U.S. Rep. George Santos has been sentenced to over seven years in prison. Santos sobbed on Friday as he heard his 87-month sentence. The New York Republican pleaded guilty last summer to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Santos admitted he deceived donors and stole the identities of nearly a dozen people to fund his congressional campaign. He served less than a year in Congress before being expelled in 2023 after his lies and fraud were uncovered. Prosecutors sought a seven-year prison sentence for Santos. His lawyers had called for two years behind bars. (Photo: AP)
