Former US Rep. George Santos, once an up-and-coming political star, has been sentenced to over seven years in prison for fraud and theft. Santos came under fire for lying about his life story, including fabricating details of his biography and falsely claiming to be Jewish. He was indicted and pleaded not guilty to federal charges of stealing from donors and his campaign, collecting undeserved unemployment benefits, and lying to Congress about his wealth. Santos was expelled from the House and later dropped his bid to return to Congress. He has now been sentenced to prison.
