George Santos Responds to Outrage Over Trump's Clemency
Former U.S. Representative George Santos has spoken out about the controversy surrounding President Donald Trump's decision to commute his sentence.
"I am not paying too much attention to the pearl clutching of the outrage of my critics and of the people predominantly on the left who are going to go out there and try to make a big deal out of something like this,"
Santos served 84 days of a seven-year sentence for fraud and identity theft, and has described his time in prison as "a very large slice of humble pie".
He has dismissed criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, who argue that his short sentence is not just.
- Santos served only three months of his sentence.
