Rep. George Santos' father and aunt guaranteed his $500,000 bond, according to a court document unsealed Thursday over the congressman's objection. Santos, a first-term Republican congressman who represents parts of Queens and Nassau County in New York, posted the bond after pleading not guilty last month to a 13-count indictment accusing him of fraud, money laundering and theft of public funds. His bond was guaranteed by Gercino dos Santos Jr. and Elma Santos Preven, who Santos first told ABC News' Rachel Scott are his father and his aunt.
