Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene urged President Trump to commute George Santos's prison sentence, calling it a grave injustice. She claimed Santos's 87-month sentence for wire fraud and identity theft is excessive and framed his conduct as campaign-related. Santos, who reported to prison in July 2024, pleaded guilty to 23 felony counts, which included identity theft and fraudulent campaign filings. Following his sentencing, a U.S. Attorney expressed satisfaction at Santos's accountability for his actions, highlighting the significant harm his crimes caused to victims.
Greene stated that Santos's 87-month prison sentence for fraud and identity theft is a "grave injustice" and an example of unequal treatment under the law. She argued his conduct was campaign-related, though federal prosecutors provided extensive findings contrary to her framing.
Santos pleaded guilty to 23 felony counts including identity theft and employment insurance fraud. He was found to have lied and used donor money for personal expenses such as designer clothing and Botox.
