President Donald Trump on Friday announced he is commuting the sentence of former New York GOP Rep. George Santos, who was serving more than seven years in federal prison for wire fraud and identity theft.

Santos pleaded guilty last summer and was sentenced in April before reporting in July to a federal correctional center in New Jersey, The Washington Times reported.

“George Santos was somewhat of a ‘rogue,’ but there are many rogues throughout our Country that aren’t forced to serve seven years in prison,” President Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated,” he added. “Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!”

The order frees Santos effective immediately and converts the remainder of his sentence to time served.

Santos, 36, had appealed to the president soon after his sentencing, calling his punishment “an over-the-top politically influenced sentence.” He said he feared how he would be treated in custody and claimed prosecutors targeted him for political reasons.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., thanked Trump for the decision, calling Santos’ confinement “torture.”
