George Santos Should Get Seven Years for Campaign Fraud, US Says

Former US Representative George Santos should be sentenced to more than seven years in prison for committing fraud while campaigning for Congress, federal prosecutors said.

A “significant” sentence is needed to protect the public from the Long Island, New York, Republican to prevent him from “adding new victims to the list of people and entities that are poorer and worse off for having come into contact with him,” prosecutors said in a memo Friday proposing that a judge impose an 87-month term of incarceration.
