About this listen
President Donald Trump commuted the prison sentence of disgraced former Congressman George Santos on Friday, freeing him after just 84 days behind bars for fraud and identity theft convictions, according to the Associated Press. Santos, who pleaded guilty last year to deceiving donors and stealing identities including family members, walked out of the low-security Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey, around 11 p.m., greeted by relatives as his lawyer Joseph Murray confirmed to the AP. Trump posted on Truth Social that he signed the commutation immediately, calling Santos a rogue no worse than others and wishing him luck, while Santos reposted it on his active X account.
This bombshell pardon, Trumps latest for ex-GOP figures like John Rowland, sparked instant backlash and cheers. Marjorie Taylor Greene hailed it as justice against overreach in a letter, per the AP, but Long Island Rep. Nick LaLota blasted it on social media, insisting Santos crimes demand lifelong remorse and restitution beyond three months served. The order wipes out Santos hefty fines, over $373,000 in restitution, and probation, as shared on X by pardon attorney Ed Martin.
Post-release buzz has Santos hustling on Cameo, where his page touts wild birthday shoutouts and pep talks with Leo zodiac flair, logging a video as recent as last Friday. Hes also stirring politics, urging Republicans to back NYC Mayor Eric Adams reelection bid despite his lies, as AOL reports. While in prison, Santos penned gripes about conditions and a direct plea to Trump in The South Shore Press on October 13, begging mercy for his family. No fresh public appearances or major social flares pop in the last few days beyond the commutation echo, though his X stays lively. This twist could reboot his infamous comeback trail, darling, from drag queen whispers to congressional fabulist.
