Former NY Rep. George Santos requests sentencing delay in federal fraud case

Former New York representative George Santos requested a delay in his sentencing for wire fraud and identity theft charges due to financial difficulties, as stated in his attorneys' letter to the judge.
Santos is scheduled to be sentenced on February 7, 2025, and faces a minimum of two years in prison, according to federal prosecutors.
His lawyers claimed he needs more time to generate funds to pay the nearly $600,000 owed in restitution and forfeiture, citing a delay in launching his podcast.
Federal prosecutors did not respond to the request for a delay, and Santos could face additional sanctions if he fails to pay restitution before sentencing.
