A Texas man who pleaded guilty to fraudulently promising to get the criminal case against former Rep. George Santos dismissed was sentenced to a year-and-a-half in federal prison on Wednesday.

A Texas man was sentenced to a year and a half in prison Wednesday over his effort to dupe George Santos out of nearly $1 million by offering to destroy evidence in the disgraced congressman’s corruption case.

A Brooklyn judge cut a Texas scammer a break, giving the man 18 months for trying to defraud George Santos — and blasted the former congressman’s “cowardice” for not showing up in person Wednesday to give a victim statement.
