Former Rep. George Santos thanked President Trump for commuting his seven-year prison sentence for wire fraud and identity theft, calling it a « second chance at life. »
Disgraced former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., took to social media Saturday to thank President Donald Trump for commuting his prison sentence, saying the commander in chief’s « kindness » and « generosity » moved him deeply.
Trump announced the commutation late Friday, ordering Santos’ immediate release from federal prison, where he was serving a seven-year sentence for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in New Jersey.
In a lengthy post on X, Santos expressed gratitude for both his faith and the President.
« Yesterday, I was given something I never thought I’d have again: a true second chance at life », Santos posted to X Saturday evening. « First and foremost, I want to thank our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for never abandoning me. … I also want to express my deepest gratitude to President Donald J. Trump. »
Santos said he spoke personally with Trump earlier Saturday, a conversation he said he « will never forget.
