Story

George Santos, a former congressman facing federal fraud charges, has been granted permission to make regular visits to the Poconos in Pennsylvania. Despite his legal troubles, Santos can now travel to the Mt. Pocono area, specifically Tobyhanna, as part of his release conditions while awaiting trial. He is allowed to move within certain areas with advance notice to the government. Santos had already been cleared to visit the Poconos but sought approval for weekly trips without frequent travel requests to the judge. His lawyer declined to comment on his summer plans there, and Santos himself jokingly responded to inquiries with "Slow news day?" Santos is accused of defrauding donors and lying to Congress but has pleaded not guilty.
