George Santos Plans Naming Children After Trump, Greene Following Sentence Commutation

Former Republican Congressman George Santos was sentenced to seven years in prison for fraud but was pardoned by President Donald Trump after serving just under three months. Santos expressed gratitude for Trump's clemency by announcing plans to name his future children after Trump and other Republican allies like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who played a pivotal role in his release. He described his prison experience as harsh, including solitary confinement, limited communication, denial of ADHD medication, and suicidal thoughts. Santos, who was expelled from Congress in late 2023 due to his conviction and a history of fabrications, is now focusing on rebuilding his life with his husband and considering a memoir and even a stint on "Dancing with the Stars." He also joked about naming multiple children after his political benefactors, reflecting his appreciation for those who supported him. The story highlights the unusual political and personal dynamics surrounding Santos's downfall and subsequent pardon.
