Santos, who had been serving over seven years behind bars, secured his freedom amid mounting calls for clemency and intense political scrutiny of his conviction.
Trump, posting on his social media platform, defended the pardon by citing what he described as “horrible” treatment of Santos in prison and claiming many worse offenders had received lighter punishments.
Trump wrote on his Truth Social Platform:
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. I started to think about George when the subject of Democrat Senator Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal came up again. As everyone remembers, “Da Nang” stated for almost twenty years that he was a proud Vietnam Veteran, having endured the worst of the War, watching the Wounded and Dead as he raced up the hills and down the valleys, blood streaming from his face. He was “a Great Hero,” he would leak to any and all who would listen — And then it happened! He was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD. He never went to Vietnam, he never saw Vietnam, he never experienced the Battles there, or anywhere else. His War Hero status, and even minimal service in our Military, was totally and completely MADE UP. This is far worse than what George Santos did, and at least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!
Although once a rising Republican figure and the first openly gay GOP member elected to Congress, Santos’ legacy had been overshadowed by scandal, culminating in his expulsion from the House and subsequent indictment on 13 federal counts.
The unexpected commutation adds fuel to the broader conversation about presidential clemency, political loyalty, and the interplay of scandal and mercy in the 2026 election cycle.
