President Donald Trump said Friday that he had signed a commutation that would immediately release former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., from prison.
“George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated,” Trump posted on Truth Social Friday evening. “Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!”
In April, Santos was sentenced to more than seven years in prison. Murderers often get shorter sentences.
The crimes he committed as a congressman include fabricating his resume and stealing public funds. He had been expelled from Congress as a result.
He allegedly made up false campaign contributions in order to obtain support from a national political committee, and stole donors’ personal information and credit card information, which he used to make unauthorized campaign contributions in other peoples’ names.
He pled guilty to some of the charges.
Like him or not. Before going to prison, George Santos airs all of Congress dirty laundry on Tucker.

These comments are unbelievable. Do you guys actually believe the crap you’re writing below? Santos’s crimes were egregious and out in the open. He should’ve been held to account, and instead Trump gave him a break. Horrible, horrible commutation of a sentence. Terrible decision by Trump.
He was caught because he was a Republican. If he were a Democrat the party would cover for him.
He was caught because he was guilty.
Santos is another victim of lawfare. He violated minor laws which members of congress frequently break. His vocalness against our corrupt system is what got him a ridiculously long sentence.
The country is infested with public officials whose abandonment of moral authority is routinely resulting in the severe bodily harm or murder of uncounted innocents. None have been held to account.
Law fare?! You have to be kidding. The guy multiple crimes were obvious and he is guilty of sin. To say otherwise it’s absurd.
