President Donald Trump announced on social media that he is commuting the prison sentence of former Congressman George Santos.
In a Truth Social post, Trump explained that he was motivated by a sense of pity, stating that Santos
has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated.
Trump compared Santos' situation to that of Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal, who falsely claimed to be a Vietnam veteran, calling it
a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD. Trump noted that Santos
ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN, showing his courage and conviction.
