"His Saturday monetization pitch offered a striking contrast to his demeanor after court 24 hours earlier when he did not speak to the assembled press."
George Santos, the former Republican congressman, was sentenced to 7 years in federal prison for a large fraud scheme involving campaign funds and illegal unemployment benefits. Following his sentencing, he publicly requested a pardon from Donald Trump, portraying his sentence as politically motivated retribution. He also advertised his Cameo account as a means to generate income for bills and judicial obligations. Despite his earlier silence to the press post-verdict, he expressed his conviction that his sentence was excessive and requested a second chance from Trump.
