A federal judge disclosed the identities of George Santos's bail sponsors: His dad and aunt.
Santos was personally responsible for giving reasons to unseal their names, a judge wrote.
He personally fueled the "media frenzy" cited to keep their identities private, according to the judge.
US District Judge Joanna Seybert commented on Santos's conduct in an order issued on Tuesday and unsealed on Thursday, along with the bail sponsors.
Santos personally fed that frenzy by speaking to members of the media following his May arraignment in federal court on Long Island, Seybert wrote in her ruling.
