President Donald Trump has commuted the federal prison sentence former U.S. Rep. and convicted felon George Santos from prison Friday.
The New York Republican was serving more than seven years in federal prison after pleading guilty to fraud and identity theft charges. He admitted to deceiving political donors and stealing the identities of 11 people to make donations to his campaign and was sentenced in April.
“George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!
“At least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN!” Trump wrote.
