NEW YORK (WABC) -- Disgraced former New York Congressman George Santos asked a judge on Friday to delay his sentencing in his federal fraud case.
Santos is currently scheduled to be sentenced on February 7 on Long Island following his summertime guilty plea to federal fraud, campaign finance and embezzlement charges.
His attorneys asked the judge to postpone six months, until August, to give Santos more time to make money so he can meet the nearly $600,000 he owes in restitution and forfeiture.
"Mr. Santos now has a viable path to making meaningful progress on satisfying his obligations," his lawyers said, citing the launch of a new podcast, "Pants on Fire with George Santos."
Federal prosecutors did not immediately respond, but the defense said they oppose a delay.
