The identities of the people who guaranteed Rep. George Santos' $500,000 bond in his criminal fraud case will be revealed Thursday, a federal judge ordered.
Santos' lawyer argued that the bail backers' identities should be kept private because of the "media frenzy" surrounding the case.
Judge Joanna Seybert's order in U.S. District Court in Long Island came less than two weeks after the Republican lawmaker's attorney argued that the bail backers' identitiesOther sealed documents in the case, including Seybert's full written order, are also scheduled to be unsealed Thursday, according to a docket entry in Santos' case.
A magistrate judge in the case sided with the news outlets earlier this month but gave Santos time to appeal the decision. Three days later, Murray asked for that order to be reversed, arguing the guarantors would be subject to "attacks and harassment" if their identities were to be made public. The heated climate already contributed to one of the three guarantors "having a change of heart and withdrawing," Murray wrote, adding that the other two will likely follow suit if their identities are released.
