Former congressman George Santos has spoken out for the first time since his release from federal prison, telling Fox News that he wants to “do good and move on with the future.” Santos, who was sentenced to 87 months in prison for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, claimed his case was unprecedented, saying, “I was the first person to ever go to federal prison for this type of civil FEC violation. These are usually solved in penalties.” The ex-lawmaker said “repentance is an understatement,” expressing a desire to rebuild his reputation and regain the trust of former allies — including Donald Trump. “I have a lot to prove to a lot of people,” he said. “I have to make sure President Trump understands that I’m not going to disappoint him.” Santos, who was expelled from Congress in 2023, did not elaborate on his future plans — but framed his release as a “second chance.” #GeorgeSantos #DonaldTrump #USPolitics #crime #LGBTQIA
