Former Representative George Santos from New York, who experienced a fall from grace, took to social media on Saturday to express his heartfelt thanks to President Donald Trump for commuting his prison sentence. Santos described the President’s actions as acts of “kindness” and “generosity” that deeply touched him.

Trump made the announcement late on Friday, issuing an order for Santos’ immediate release from federal prison. Santos had been serving a seven-year sentence for charges of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft in New Jersey.

In a detailed post on the platform X, Santos shared his appreciation, highlighting the role of his faith and the President in his newfound freedom.

“Yesterday granted me something I never thought possible again: a genuine second chance at life,” Santos wrote on X on Saturday evening. “First and foremost, I give thanks to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, for never forsaking me. … I also express my deepest appreciation to President Donald J. Trump.”

Santos mentioned that he had a personal conversation with Trump earlier that Saturday, noting it as a moment he “will never forget.”

“President Trump reminded me that in this country we love so much, no mistake, no hardship, and no fall from grace can take away the possibility of renewal,” Santos said. “His faith in second chances reignited my own, and for that, I will be forever thankful.”

The former congressman also thanked his supporters who stood by him and said that, going forward, he plans to focus on prison reform, inspired by Trump’s historic peace deal he secured between Israel and Hamas earlier this month.

“Inspired by President Trump’s work toward peace in the Middle East, I am dedicating myself to doing good, to building bridges instead of walls,” Santos said. “My focus will be on prison reform and accountability, ensuring that those in power uphold the dignity and humanity of every person in their care.”

Santos also accused officials at the Federal Correctional Institution in Fairton, New Jersey, of mistreatment.

“No one should ever be dehumanized or degraded like I was by the FCI Fariton Warden Kelly and Assistant Warden Nobile,” Santos said. “My goal now is to turn my past into something meaningful, to help create a justice system that truly believes in rehabilitation and second chances.”

In his Truth Social post announcing the commutation, Trump described Santos as “somewhat of a rogue” but argued his punishment was excessive.

“At least Santos had the Courage, Conviction, and Intelligence to ALWAYS VOTE REPUBLICAN!” Trump said. “George has been in solitary confinement for long stretches of time and, by all accounts, has been horribly mistreated. Therefore, I just signed a Commutation, releasing George Santos from prison, IMMEDIATELY. Good luck George, have a great life!”

In April, Santos was sentenced to 87 months in prison after pleading guilty to deceiving donors and stealing the identities of nearly a dozen people to funnel fraudulent contributions to his campaign.

He reported to FCI Fairton in July.

The former representative, elected in 2022, served in Congress for close to a year before being ousted in 2023 by his House colleagues.

The FCI New Jersey did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
