George Santos ordered to reveal identities of mystery bond guarantors

Judge says Republican fabulist has until Friday to appeal order to disclose who guaranteed $500,000 bond on fraud charges

The Republican congressman and serial fabulist George Santos has until Friday to appeal an order to reveal the identities of three people who guaranteed his $500,000 bond on fraud charges, a New York judge said on Tuesday.

A lawyer for Santos had said identification of the guarantors would imperil their health, safety and wellbeing", and claimed the New York congressman would rather go to prison than reveal the names.
