Trump Commutes George Santos' Prison Sentence

In a social media post, Trump explained his decision, citing the case of Democrat Senator Richard Blumenthal, who falsely claimed to be a Vietnam veteran.
"This is far worse than what George Santos did, and at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN!"
Trump also stated that Santos has been "horribly mistreated" while in solitary confinement for long stretches of time.
The president's decision was reportedly made out of pity for Santos.
"George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated,"
