CNN’s Dana Bash: “Were you surprised that this happened? Did you expect the commutation?”

George Santos: “I had no expectations. I wasn’t even aware until I learned it off the chyron of mainstream media inside the prison myself. I had just been released from segregated isolation after 41 days for absolute no valid reason.”

CNN’s Dana Bash: “That’s incredible. You were standing in prison. You looked up at the television, and that’s where you saw that your sentence was commuted?”

George Santos: “I didn’t see it. Other inmates saw it and called me over to see it... I called my family, and they told me it had happened. I was not aware. It was a surprise.” https://x.com/RedWave_Press/status/1979904849698341288
