Trump commutes George Santos’s prison sentence in fraud case

President Donald Trump commuted the sentence of former U.S. Rep. George Santos, who was serving over seven years for fraud and identity theft, citing his belief that Santos's crimes were not as severe as other political misrepresentations. Santos, who had admitted to deceiving donors and stealing identities, was released from prison immediately, with Trump praising his decision on social media. The move has sparked mixed reactions, with some Republicans supporting and others criticizing the clemency.
