Empty Green says: correct a "grave injustice" and commute George Santos' prison sentence [View all]
BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene officially urges Trump to commute George Santos’s prison sentence (The Advocate)U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on Monday formally urged President Donald Trump to commute the prison sentence of former Republican congressman George Santos, calling his 87-month term a “grave injustice” and an example of unequal treatment under the law.
In a letter to the Office of the Pardon Attorney, Greene wrote that Santos’s sentence for wire fraud and identity theft “extends far beyond what is warranted” and framed his conduct as campaign-related, despite extensive findings from federal prosecutors. “While his crimes warrant punishment,” Greene wrote, “many of my colleagues who I serve with have committed far worse offenses than Mr. Santos yet have faced zero criminal charges.” She provided no evidence for that claim.
