The authorized troubles confronted by former Congressman George Santos might not but be over.
Santos, who was convicted of identification theft and wire fraud and sentenced to an absurdly harsh sentence of over seven years in jail, had his sentence commuted by the White Home earlier this week.
Nevertheless, the Republican district lawyer in Naussau County, the world that Santos as soon as represented, has refused to rule out submitting fees in opposition to him.
“Since first studying of George Santos’ actions, I’ve been on the forefront of bringing him to justice,” Nassau County District Lawyer Anne Donnelly mentioned in an announcement reported by NBC Information.
“I’m pleased with the work my workplace has executed, and the conviction achieved in partnership with the U.S. Lawyer’s workplace.”
”Whereas the workplace can’t touch upon ongoing investigations, suffice it to say that I stay centered on prosecuting political corruption wherever it exists no matter political affiliation.”
On her official “Meet the District Attorney” page, Donnelly boasts of being “the primary prosecutor to launch an investigation into disgraced former Congressman George Santos and was instrumental within the federal prosecution that introduced him to justice
The 37-year-old had served three months of his sentence earlier than being launched from jail final week.
In a statement on Truth Social, Trump described Santos as a “rogue” however identified that many Democrats and leftists haven’t acquired any punishment for crimes which might be way more extreme.
He wrote:
George Santos was considerably of a “rogue,” however there are numerous rogues all through our Nation that aren’t compelled to serve seven years in jail. I began to consider George when the topic of Democrat Senator Richard “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal got here up once more.
As everybody remembers, “Da Nang” acknowledged for nearly twenty years that he was a proud Vietnam Veteran, having endured the worst of the Struggle, watching the Wounded and Useless as he raced up the hills and down the valleys, blood streaming from his face. He was “a Nice Hero,” he would leak to any and all who would pay attention — After which it occurred!
He was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL FRAUD. He by no means went to Vietnam, he by no means noticed Vietnam, he by no means skilled the Battles there, or anyplace else. His Struggle Hero standing, and even minimal service in our Army, was completely and fully MADE UP.
That is far worse than what George Santos did, and at the least Santos had the Braveness, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN! George has been in solitary confinement for lengthy stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Due to this fact, I simply signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from jail, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have an incredible life!
I used to be honored as U.S. Pardon Lawyer to have performed a small position in @POTUS granting @MrSantosNY clemency. Thanks, Mr. President for making clemency nice once more. pic.twitter.com/GBnQzADfGZ
