President Trump said Friday he commuted former New York Congressman George Santos’ prison sentence for fraud.
In a post on Truth Social, the president said Santos has been “horribly mistreated” in prison and will be released immediately.
Santos surrendered himself to a federal prison in New Jersey on July 25 to start serving a more than seven-year sentence after he pleaded guilty to wire fraud and identity theft charges.
