Former US Representative George Santos seeks a partially anonymous jury for his September fraud trial due to media attention and potential juror safety risks. Federal prosecutors aim to admit as evidence Santos' past campaign lies, including false claims about his education and work history, as they believe these fabrications are connected to the criminal charges he faces. Santos is accused of various financial crimes, including lying to Congress about his wealth, collecting unemployment benefits while working, and using campaign funds for personal expenses.
