The Poconos will soon have to welcome a new summering New Yorker: George Santos. Santos, the former congressman and current criminal defendant, has won a bid to make regular visits to the Poconos after a judge on Tuesday granted his request to make excursions to the low-key vacation spot.
FILE - Rep. George Santos , R-N.Y., waits for the start of a session in the House chamber as the House meets for the fourth day to elect a speaker and convene the 118th Congress in Washington, Jan. 6, 2023. The Poconos is set to get another summering New Yorker: George Santos .
An attorney for Santos last week asked Judge Joanna Seybert if Santos could make weekly trips to the Mt. Pocono area, specifically to the town of Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania. Santos’ travel is restricted as a condition of his release while he awaits trial. He is allowed to move within New York City, Long Island and Washington, D.C., as well as other trips provided he gives advance notice to the government, according to court records.
The legal filing said Santos had already been cleared to visit the Poconos but wanted to make weekly trips there this summer without submitting frequent travel requests to the judge. A lawyer for Santos declined to comment on Santos’ summer plans in the Poconos. Santos is facing a slew of criminal charges, including defrauding donors and lying to Congress. He has pleaded not guilty.of the House in December after an ethics committee report found “overwhelming evidence” of lawbreaking, making Santos just the sixth member expelled by colleagues in the history of the chamber.
