The two people who guaranteed George Santos’ bail will have their names publicly revealed, a federal judge rules.
Joseph Murray, a lawyer for Santos, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.At least 11 media organizations had sought the names, citing the public interest.
According to a court filing, the House of Representatives’ Ethics Committee also wanted the names, to determine whether Santos violated that chamber’s rules on gifts. Murray has said Santos and his staff had been subjected to a “media frenzy and hateful attacks” since Santos’ indictment became public on May 9, and it was “reasonable” to believe his bail guarantors might face the same treatment.
Following his election, Santos drew much criticism, including bipartisan calls that he resign, after reports that he had lied about much of his personal and professional background. He has since admitted to fabricating large parts of his resume.
