STORYLINE:
Disgraced former U.S. Rep. George Santos has arrived for his sentencing in federal court.

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 are seeking a seven-year prison sentence for Santos. He has argued that’s too harsh. His lawyers have called for two years behind bars.
