George Santos said Sunday he is not “getting away with it” after President Donald Trump commuted his sentence for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. The 37-year-old, less than three months into a seven-year federal term, said clemency leaves him with no restitution or probation, despite a plea deal requiring nearly $600,000. On CNN he pledged to follow the law on repaying donors; on Fox he declared no remaining legal “pendencies.” Trump called him “horribly mistreated.” Santos signaled prison-reform goals and said any political return is unlikely for at least a decade.
