Former New York Republican Rep. George Santos is seeking a sentencing delay to make the more than $575,000 he will owe in fines per his plea agreement. Santos is slated to receive his sentence on the two charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft on Feb.

Disgraced former congressman George Santos has asked a New York judge to delay his sentencing on federal fraud charges until the summer so he can pay off more than half a million dollars in fines by making more episodes of his recently launched podcast “Pants on Fire.

The gay fabulist former-congressman’s wants approval to have his latest venture to keep him out of prison until late-summer.

Santos' lawyers requested the delay on the grounds that Santos needs more time to "generate sufficient funds" in order to pay the judgment and cited a delay in the launch of his podcast.

George Santos has just weeks to pay $205,000 after a federal judge filed a forfeiture order that requires he pay before being sentenced in February.
