Trump Orders Lying Ex-Long Island Rep. George Santos’ Release From Prison

/1 Comment/in , /by

President Trump commuted serial fabulist and former GOP Rep. George Santos’ seven-year prison sentence on Friday, citing “horrible” mistreatment by the Bureau of Prisons and claiming Santos’ unlawful conduct was not nearly as bad as the fibs of Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).

Santos, 36, sobbed in court during his April 25 sentencing after pleading guilty to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. He reported to FCI Fairton in Fairfield Township, NJ, on July 25.

He’s since dished to The South Shore Press on the appalling “fluorescent yellow … state-issued polyester” jumpsuits, as well as mold and broken AC units in the prison.

The lying Long Island pol admitted in August 2024 to defrauding donors to his successful 2022 House campaign and using the names of dozens of others — including family and friends — to falsely inflate his number of contributors.

“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,” Trump said on Truth Social as he flew from Washington to his Mar-a-Lago resort. “I started to think about George when the subject of Democrat Senator Richard ‘Da Nang Dick’ Blumenthal came up again.” (Read more from “Trump Orders Lying Ex-Long Island Rep.

Former GOP Rep. George Santos Pleads Guilty to Felonies, Breaks Down Outside Courthouse (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

Former Representative George Santos, who had previously maintained his innocence, has shocked many by pleading guilty to two felonies: wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. This decision comes just weeks before he was scheduled to stand trial on 23 charges, including wire fraud, identity theft, and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission.

Santos, 36, entered his plea in a Long Island court yesterday, admitting to serious charges that have overshadowed his brief political career. His guilty plea will likely lead to significant legal consequences, including a mandatory two-year prison sentence for aggravated identity theft alone. Legal experts anticipate that Santos could face between six to seven years in total.

The controversy surrounding Santos began soon after his unexpected election victory in November 2022. Reports emerged revealing that he had fabricated details on his résumé and misrepresented his background. This led to an investigation into his campaign finances, which uncovered further discrepancies and misconduct.

In December 2023, amidst mounting scrutiny and scandal, Santos was expelled from the House of Representatives by a vote from his fellow lawmakers. The expulsion marked a dramatic fall from grace for the once-prominent GOP figure.

Following his court appearance, Santos gave an emotional speech to reporters outside the courthouse. The weight of his plea deal appeared to hit him hard, as he was seen breaking down in tears. “It’s clear to me now that I allowed ambition to cloud my judgment, leading me to make decisions that were unethical and guilty,” Santos said, visibly emotional. “Pleading guilty is a step I never imagined I’d take, but it is a necessary one because it is the right thing to do. It’s not only a recognition of my misrepresentations to others, but more profoundly, it is my own recognition of the lies I told myself over these past years.”

Santos will be sentenced on February 7. In addition to prison time, he is required to pay nearly $373,750 in restitution and forfeit over $205,000. The court proceedings revealed that Santos is struggling to raise the required funds, leading to a tense exchange between his attorneys and prosecutors. If Santos fails to come up with the money, prosecutors have indicated they will move to liquidate his assets.

Report Reveals Misuse of Campaign Funds for Botox, Porn, and Luxurious Expenses by GOP Rep.

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Investigative Subcommittee (ISC) report on Rep. George Santos (R-NY) released by the House Ethics Committee Thursday found that the Santos campaign used donations for botox treatments, OnlyFans, and lodging in Atlantic City and Las Vegas.

The report states that a Florida LLC called RedStone Strategies, of which Santos’s New York LLC, Devolder Organization, was one of two account managers, transferred $200,000 into Santos’s personal bank accounts in 2022, with some of the funds going to the adult content website OnlyFans, make-up retailer Sephora, Santos’s personal debt, and a $4,100 purchase at Hermes.

The entity was used to solicit donations from two contributors in October 2022, weeks before the midterm election. Someone using a RedStone email presented RedStone to the donors as an independent expenditure committee established “exclusively” to back Santos’s candidacy and “dedicated to helping George Santos win NY-03.”

Santos followed up with a donor described as “Contributor 2,” saying, “I need some help on the outside for next week on TV.”

“Can I have the guys from the outside give you a buzz? Can you help?” . . . “It’s coming down to the wire and these people are on me,” he added. (Read more from “Report Reveals Misuse of Campaign Funds for Botox, Porn, and Luxurious Expenses by GOP Rep.” HERE)

George Santos Threatens Other Republicans After He’s Indicted on 23 Counts

/0 Comments/in , /by

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) threatened other Republicans on Wednesday after he was indicted on 10 new felony counts in a 23 count superseding indictment that was returned this week stemming from alleged crimes related to campaign finance.

The new charges included one count of conspiracy to commit offenses against the United States, two counts of wire fraud, two counts of making materially false statements to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), two counts of falsifying records submitted to obstruct the FEC, two counts of aggravated identity theft, and one count of access device fraud.

Santos told reporters that he was not willing to take a plea deal because he claimed that he could prove his “innocence.” . . .

“Remember if I’m in fact ousted fascism will officially be well and alive in the United States of America and these members will be the champions of it,” he claimed. “I do want to remind my dear colleagues who all but one have deep long troubling careers in politics that I will have a lot of time on my hands to return the favor in the most expedient fashion mankind has ever seen.” (Read more from “George Santos Threatens Other Republicans After He’s Indicted on 23 Counts” HERE)

George Santos Rages Against Indictment

/0 Comments/in , /by

Embattled Republican Congressman George Santos has vowed to defeat a litany of charges issued as part of a new 13-count indictment, calling himself the victim of a “witch hunt” during a tumultuous press conference outside a courthouse in Central Islip, New York.

The charges filed by the U.S. Attorney’s office in the Eastern District of New York against him are seven counts of wire fraud, three counts of money laundering, one count of theft of public funds, and two counts of making materially false statements to the House of Representatives.

Santos was elected in November and almost instantly drew attention when multiple stories came out about his personal and professional past, swiftly changing the minds of his district’s voters and leading to calls for resignations.

The first-term Republican initially described his lies as “embellishments,” among them not graduating from college, not working for Goldman Sachs, not owning 13 properties, and misrepresenting a Jewish heritage.

Lying George Santos Admits He ‘F–Ked Up,’ Gushes Over Don Lemon, Gripes About Botox

/0 Comments/in , /by

Disgraced Long Island Rep. George Santos openly admitted that he “f–ked up” and “lied to everyone” — while clearly relishing the notoriety the scandal has brought him, a secret recording reveals.

The truth-averse freshman Republican congressman made the frank admission Monday while telling a volunteer that he was not being hired for a $50,000-a-year staff job — while also gushing over texts from CNN’s Don Lemon and chatting about his Botox bill.

In surreal exchanges, Santos told ex-reporter Derek Myers that he couldn’t hire him because he had been accused of making illegal recordings in the past and feared he would do the same to him.

Myers said he’d go to jail rather than tattle about their chats — but then gave the audio to Talking Points Memo (TPM).

In Monday’s meeting in the Capitol, Santos sounded sympathetic to Myers, comparing the stain on the ex-reporter’s reputation to his own political scandal for lying on his resume. (Read more from “Lying George Santos Admits He ‘F–Ked Up,’ Gushes Over Don Lemon, Gripes About Botox” HERE)

George Santos Steps Back From House Committee Assignments

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Tuesday, New York Rep. George Santos (R) told House Republicans that he would recuse himself from his committee positions as he faces investigations and calls to resign after fabricating parts of his life and work experience.

According to The New York Times, Santos spoke with Speaker Kevin McCarthy on Monday evening about his decision. McCarthy reportedly said it was an “appropriate decision” until Santos “could clear everything up.” Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) told the Times that Santos’ decision is not permanent and that he may return once his issues are resolved.

Previously, Townhall covered that Santos got assignments on the Science Committee and the Small Business Committee. Reportedly, he was hoping for the House Committee on Financial Services or the House Foreign Affairs Committee. At the time, it was up in the air if Santos would get committee assignments at all.

To recap, after Santos won his congressional seat in the 2022 midterms, The New York Times published an article exposing major discrepancies in Santos’ resume. This included where he attended college, as well as his previous jobs. (Read more from “George Santos Steps Back From House Committee Assignments” HERE)
