New York ex-Rep. George Santos ‘not genuinely remorseful’ DOJ says ahead of fraud’s sentencing

New York ex-Rep. George Santos ‘not genuinely remorseful’ DOJ says ahead of fraud’s sentencing

Former Rep. George Santos is facing sentencing on federal crimes after being accused of lying to Congress about his wealth, collecting unemployment payments unlawfully, and misusing campaign funds for personal luxuries. Despite the severity of his offenses, Santos has shown a lack of genuine remorse, as evidenced by his recent social media outbursts against the Justice Department.

In a series of unhinged comments on Twitter, Santos referred to the federal government as a “cabal of pedophiles” and accused the DOJ of targeting him unjustly. He even went as far as to claim that prosecutors had a vendetta against him dating back to before he even took office in December 2022. Despite pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft last December, Santos continues to maintain a defiant stance, insisting that the DOJ is lawless and disregards court orders.

The US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York has noted Santos’ lack of genuine remorse, pointing out that his recent behavior contradicts his tearful plea of guilt. Despite accepting responsibility for his actions during his allocution, Santos continues to lash out at the DOJ and portray himself as a victim of prosecutorial overreach.

As Santos prepares to be sentenced on Long Island, federal prosecutors have recommended a term of more than seven years in prison. However, Santos’ defense team is advocating for a two-year sentence, the mandatory minimum for aggravated identity theft. The former congressman, who was expelled from Congress, is scheduled to learn his fate on April 25.

It is clear that Santos’ behavior both during and after his legal proceedings reflects a lack of genuine remorse and a refusal to take full responsibility for his actions. As he awaits sentencing, his continued defiance and attacks on the DOJ only serve to further highlight his lack of contrition. Regardless of the outcome of his case, it is evident that Santos’ conduct has not aligned with the expectations of accountability and remorse in the face of federal charges.
