Trump commutes George Santos’ sentence IMMEDIATELY

President Donald Trump commuted the prison sentence of former Congressman George Santos, effective “IMMEDIATELY.”

Trump said, “George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY.”

Santos has a regular column in the South Shore Press and has told our readers in depth about his horrific experiences in prison and how it became even worse when he was put in solitary confinement “for his protection.” He called out from his solitary cell to President Trump asking for relief, and relief came Friday night.

“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 went on to say. “I started to think about George when the subject of Democrat Senator Richard ‘Da Nang Dick’ Blumenthal came up again. As everyone remembers, ‘Da Nang’ stated for almost twenty years that he was a proud Vietnam Veteran, having endured the worst of the War, watching the Wounded and Dead as he raced up the hills and down the valleys, blood streaming from his face. He was ‘a Great Hero,’ he would leak to any and all who would listen — And then it happened!”

Santos was sentenced to 87 months in prison after pleading guilty in August 2024 to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. As part of the sentence, he was ordered to pay $373,749.97 in restitution to his victims and $205,002.97 in forfeiture.

Trump did not hold back in his criticism of Senator Blumenthal, who, unlike Santos, still sits in the halls of Congress and not in prison.

“He was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD,” Trump said. “He never went to Vietnam, he never saw Vietnam, he never experienced the Battles there, or anywhere else. His War Hero status, and even minimal service in our Military, was totally and completely MADE UP. This is far worse than what George Santos did, and at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN!”
