He was expelled from Congress while facing criminal charges over stealing from donors and his campaign, fraudulently collecting unemployment benefits and lying to Congress about his wealth. <\/p>\n<p>He pleaded guilty but had his sentence <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/news\/trump-commutes-george-santos-sentence\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">commuted by President Trump<\/a> after serving around 84 days in prison. He later tried to reboot his political career with another run for the House but quickly abandoned the run after raising no money. <\/p>\n<p>Last month, Kalshi, the online prediction marketplace, reported him to federal authorities after he boasted he would be going to Mr. Trump&#8217;s State of the Union address, then allegedly bet against his own attendance. That caused Polymarket, another online prediction platform where he was working as an influencer, to end its paid relationship with him. Santos has said the allegation is &#8220;preposterous.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>He didn&#8217;t immediately return a message seeking comment Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p>Among the challenges on Fox&#8217;s &#8220;Special Forces: World&#8217;s Toughest Test,&#8221; according to the network, were a claustrophobic search of an underground bunker and a supply load retrieval while suspended high above the jungle floor.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation  \">\n        <\/aside>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n      <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<section class=\"content__tags\">\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/george-santos-reality-show-contestant\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York \u2014\u00a0George Santos has worn many hats: swindler, congressman, prison inmate, podcast host.
