Former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., who was expelled from the House of Representatives after being indicted on 23 federal counts including fraud and misusing campaign funds, pleaded guilty Monday in federal court to two of the charges.
The Long Island Republican faces a mandatory two-year minimum sentence after pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. But Judge Joanna Seybert estimated the term could range from six to eight years behind bars when he is sentenced on Feb. 7, 2025. Santos also agreed to pay nearly $374,000 in restitution.

Was Santo's lawyer(s) that good or the prosecution that weak?
Thanks for the update.
Oh, please.
“I understand my actions have betrayed the trust of my supporters and constituents,” Santos said at a hearing Monday, his voice wavering at times. “I deeply regret my conduct.”
"Lawyers for Santos, 36, are likely to seek leniency for the ex-lawmaker, pointing to his decision to admit guilt and spare the court from the time and expense of a trial."

"The Mr. Santos who appeared in court bore little resemblance to the shameless provocateur whose antics grabbed headlines. On Monday, that bravado was replaced by a wavering voice and words of contrition."

I suspect he will not flourish in a prison environment. But agree that he will back.on the grifting circuit as soon as he's released.
