Former Congressman sentenced to federal prison for fraud and ID theft
[MSN] Former U.S. Rep. George Santos was sentenced to more than seven years in prison on federal wire fraud and identity theft charges Friday in New York. The judge handed down the maximum sentence of 87 months just before noon in Central Islip on Long Island. Federal prosecutors say the former congressman exaggerated or fabricated large parts of his backstory to defraud voters and donors in New York's 3rd Congressional District. He faced nearly a dozen criminal charges before pleading guilty to two counts last August.
