Judge grants Poconos travel request for George Santos as he faces federal charges

U.S. District Court Judge for the Eastern District of New York Joanna Seybert agreed on Tuesday to modify the conditions of Santos’s release. The New York Republican is facing federal charges including wire fraud and money laundering.

Previously, he could travel within New York City, Long Island and Washington, D.C., without advance notice, and to other locations with advance notice to his pretrial services officer.

Santos “intends to make regular visits to Tobyhanna” this summer, and was seeking to do so without making weekly requests, attorney Robert Fantone wrote in the request for Seybert to modify Santos’s release.
