U.S. President Donald J. Trump has announced the commutation of former Republican Rep. George Santos’s sentence. Santos was sentenced in April 2025 to 87 months in federal prison on charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, tied to hundreds of thousands of dollars he stole from supporters during his 2020 election campaign. With President Trump’s commutation, Santos is now immediately eligible for release from the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey.
