Former Rep. George Santos Is Struggling To Get A Pardon From President Trump, Deletes Account In Frustration

[Conservative Angle]

Former U.S. Representative George Santos of New York is finally starting to see the writing on the wall.

Santos who was expelled from Congress in 2023 over ethics concerns only to be later convicted on wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges, sent out a lengthy post on X attacking his “friends” and Republicans who have not been able to secure him a pardon from President Trump.

Santos was senteced by a federal judge to serve 87 months in prison and will soon have to report to prison.

The New York Post broke down the details:

George Santos went on an unhinged and extended X rant this week, bashing everyone from frenemies, former Republican colleagues to the American justice system — and then deactivated the account.

The disgraced ex-congressman — who is headed to federal prison July 25 — whined about his prison sentence and attacked his “so called friends” in the GOP for not delivering on a pardon for seven consecutive days of posts beginning May 21, The Post has learned.

The dramatic tirade culminated with the deactivation of his 200,000- follower X account Wednesday.

“For those asking. … Even though I initially considered the prospect of petitioning the president with a pardon application I have [ceased] that approach as I will not spend the last 61 days I have of life scrambling on how to get past a bunch of guard dogs,” Santos, 36, posted Monday.

“The so called ‘friends’ I have that said they’d help legit should have just told me to go f–k myself, because that’s what has essentially happened with their actions. I’ve accepted my fate and don’t want to talk about it anymore.”

His account has been deleted.

Take a look:

However, even though Santos has appeared to act as if he has no interest in pettitoning President Trump to pardon him, he previously made a call for President Trump to pardon him in an interview with Piers Morgan:

'No one better than President Trump knows what a weaponized justice department looks like.'

George Santos, who is facing seven years in jail for wire fraud and identity theft, makes his plea to Trump.

The DOJ reported tehse details on Santos’ crimes:

Santos Filed Fraudulent FEC Reports, Embezzled Funds from Campaign Donors, Stole Identities, Charged Credit Cards Without Authorization, Obtained Unemployment Benefits Through Fraud, and Lied in Reports to the U.S. House of Representatives

Former Congressman George Anthony Devolder Santos was sentenced today by United States District Judge Joanna Seybert at the federal courthouse in Central Islip to 87 months in prison for committing wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. As part of the sentence, Santos was ordered to pay restitution to his victims in the amount of $373,749.97 and $205,002.97 in forfeiture. Santos pleaded guilty in August 2024.

John J. Durham, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York; Matthew R. Galeotti, Head of the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division; Christopher G. Raia, Assistant Director in Charge, Federal Bureau of Investigation, New York Field Office (FBI); Harry T. Chavis, Jr., Special Agent in Charge, Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation, New York (IRS-CI New York); and Anne T. Donnelly, Nassau County District Attorney announced the sentence.

“Today, George Santos was finally held accountable for the mountain of lies, theft, and fraud he perpetrated. For the defendant, it was judgment day, and for his many victims including campaign donors, political parties, government agencies, elected bodies, his own family members, and his constituents, it is justice,” stated U.S. Attorney Durham. “To Mr. Santos and other dishonest individuals of that ilk, who lie, steal identities and commit frauds to get elected to public office, this prosecution speaks to the truth that my Office is committed to aggressively rooting out public corruption and that public officials who criminally abuse our electoral process will end up in a federal prison.”

Mr. Durham expressed his appreciation to the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General and the New York State Department of Labor, for their assistance.
