George Santos 'would rather go to jail than name who secured his bail'

Embattled New York congressman would rather go to jail than name the people who secured his $500,000 pretrial bond, his lawyer said on Monday.

News outlets have asked the judge in Santos's case to make public the names of the two people who paid for his bond, citing overwhelming public interest and a need for transparency.

The stakes are high: one person was lined up to contribute to the bond, yet failed to show in court on the day, fearing the fallout from backing Santos according to his lawyer, Joseph Murray.
