Former Congressman to Begin 87-Month Sentence for Wire Fraud and Identity Theft, Claims "Gatekeepers" Blocked His Appeal to President Former Republican Congressman George Santos, facing an 87-month prison sentence,

Disgraced former U.S. Rep. George Santos is expected to begin serving a seven-year prison sentence on Friday for the fraud charges that got him ousted from Congress.

In April, a federal judge declined to give Santos a lighter two-year sentence that he sought, saying she was unconvinced he was truly remorseful.
