Former New York GOP Rep. George Santos was sentenced to 87 months in federal court Friday in connection with his wire fraud and identity theft case.
The 36-year-old former representative served in Congress for close to a year before being ousted in 2023 by his House colleagues. Santos had not yet been convicted of a crime at that point, but had been indicted on 23 counts related to wire fraud, identity theft, falsification of records, credit card fraud and other charges.
Santos sobbed as he received his sentence, according to the Associated Press.
U.S. District Court Judge Joanna Seybert asked Santos during his sentencing, "Where is your remorse? Where do I see it?"
She continued on to say that he appears to feel that "it's always someone else's fault," according to the outlet.
Santos is expected to arrive at prison by July 26th, a source confirmed to Fix News.
