President Trump has issued a commutation of sentence for George Santos, formerly a Republican congressman. Santos was convicted of multiple federal charges, including wire fraud and money laundering, totaling $10 million. The pardon, effective immediately, removes him from criminal liability. His former colleagues and constituents have expressed mixed reactions to the decision, with some welcoming the release while others remain concerned about Santos’s future legal standing. The pardon avoids a potential lengthy prison term, though the full impact of the release remains to be seen.
