Trump Commutes George Santos' Sentence as Pardon Blitz Wipes Out Federal Investigations
Former Rep. George Santos has had his sentence commuted and pardoned by President Trump, effectively wiping out costly federal investigations into him. The move allows Santos to leave prison early and regain some of his lost credibility in law enforcement.
Former congressman George Santos has had his prison sentence commuted by President Trump, effectively wiping out costly federal investigations and restoring some of the law enforcement credibility he lost after serving less than three months of a seven-year term. The pardon granted by Trump brings an end to a high-profile scandal that led to Santos' expulsion from Congress in 2023. As a result of his new sentence, any ongoing or pending investigations into his past have been dropped. With the commutation, Santos is now free to resume his life outside of prison.
