George Santos Asks For Criminal Sentencing To Be Delayed So He Can Keep Podcasting - Ring of Fire



Former Republican Congressman George Santos is asking a judge to delay his criminal sentencing until much later this year because he says he needs to continue podcasting. According to Santos’ letter to the judge, the podcast is where his money comes from, and he needs that money in order to pay the restitution that he owes. But that isn’t how sentencing works, and Santos is really asking for special favors that he does not deserve. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

If so, I wonder how much will be acknowledged on his tax filing.
