The Department of Justice has filed a supplemental sentencing letter against former Congressman George Santos, doubling down on its push for a nearly 7.5-year prison sentence.
Just days before his sentencing on April 25, DOJ prosecutors submitted an aggressive letter to Judge Joanna Seybert, claiming that Santos has shown “no remorse” for his conduct — citing social media posts in which he criticized the federal government and portrayed himself as a victim of prosecutorial overreach.
DOJ’s letter absurdly complains that Santos tweeted about being a “scapegoat,” accused the DOJ of going soft on drug lords and human traffickers, and dared to call the ruling class a “cabal.”
One of the tweets cited in the sentencing memorandum:
“Hi my name is George Santos and the DOJ has had a hard on for me since December of 2022.
I refuse to let them break me or my spirit and that makes them big Mad… they have used elaborate language to drag me and hinder my ability to earn income…
Long story short, I will NOT succumb to their soul crushing antics and that makes them furious.
I will however remind everyone that they want me to go to prison for 87 months while they let sex traffickers walk freely, they give drug lords slaps on the wrist and most importantly refuse to prosecute the cabal of pedophiles running around in every power structure in the world including the US Government.”

Read the sentencing memorandum below:
George Santos has been a target of the left and RINO Republicans since he won his election in 2022. George previously told The Gateway Pundit he had 70 reporters outside his door in the US Congress on numerous occasions.
They all targeted George Santos. Rep. Santos was the most conservative member of his freshman class in Congress. George is a friend of this website, The Gateway Pundit.
Santos received a 100% score from Heritage Action for America during the 118th Congress, reflecting full alignment with the organization’s conservative policy positions.
Despite this perfect score, Santos’s tenure in Congress was short-lived. He was expelled from the House on December 1, 2023, following a 311–114 vote, after revelations of extensive fabrications in his personal and professional background, as well as legal issues including guilty pleas to wire fraud and identity theft.
Recall that George Santos was charged and arrested in May 2023 after a federal jury returned a 13-count indictment.
Santos was charged with 7 counts of wire fraud, 3 counts of money laundering, and one count of theft of public funds in May 2023.
According to the May indictment reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, Santos was overcharged by zealous government prosecutors.
Santos was hit with five counts for “wire fraud” for engaging in a political contribution solicitation scheme.
In August last year, Santos pleaded guilty to two felony counts of wire fraud and identity theft.
