Relatives of Indicted Rep. George Santos Revealed As $500K Bail Guarantors

Rep. George Santos was indicted on 13 federal charges and released on bail.
Media organizations petitioned to have the identities of Santos's bail guarantors revealed.
A judge ordered that the names be unsealed, revealing Santos's father and aunt as the guarantors.
Santos had argued that revealing their identities would threaten their safety, but the judge stated that Santos had created "hysteria" over a "nonissue."
If Santos violates the terms of his release, his relatives could be liable for the full $500,000 bond amount.
