Trump commutes prison sentence of former lawmaker George Santos, orders him released

The former US Rep. was serving more than seven years in federal prison after he pleaded guilty to fraud and identity theft charges, the Associated Press reported.

“George Santos was somewhat of a “rogue,” but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren’t forced to serve seven years in prison,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

Santos had been sentenced in April after he admitted to deceiving donors and stealing the identities of 11 people, including his family members, to donate to his campaign.
