The identities of US Representative George Santos’s three bail guarantors were ordered unsealed by a judge in his criminal fraud case, though the release was put on hold to give the Republican congressman a chance to appeal.
Media organizations had sought the names of the three people who signed on as sureties for Santos’s $500,000 bond. Santos had argued that those people could suffer harm if their identities became public. US Magistrate Judge Anne Y. Shields on Tuesday granted the media organizations’ request but gave Santos until June 9 to appeal.
