‘Profoundly sorry’ George Santos writes to judge ahead of fraud sentencing

George Santos, a disgraced former congressman, is defending himself before a federal judge who will deliver his sentence on multiple fraud charges. In a heartfelt letter to the judge ahead of his court appearance, Santos expressed his regret for his crimes but argued that a seven-year prison sentence was overly harsh. He emphasized his responsibility for his actions and challenged prosecutors' claims that his social media posts were being used as evidence against him. Santos's defense team is seeking a shorter sentence, citing concerns about the punishment of protected speech.
