CNN: Santos Was “Sobbing” During Sentencing [Video]

“It was quite dramatic. I’ve got to tell you, the federal judge was expressing some real disappointment in George Santos before handing down the sentence, essentially saying that he is fully deserving of the sentence that she was about to give him.

“And when she did add up the total of 87 months, which is what the prosecution was requesting in this case, George Santos put his hands over his face and he was just sobbing in court.

“She said she’s looked through all the paperwork that she had in front of her. She listened to him and she just does not believe he feels any guilt. Even though he pled guilty to two crimes for defrauding mostly tons of people.

“One of the things that was interesting that did come up in court today was the fact that he made over $360,000 with Cameo appearances, with documentary appearances going on podcasts, and the judge says, I find it incredible that you didn’t even set up a savings account to begin the process of paying back these people that you defrauded.” CNN reporter Brynn Gingras, this afternoon.
