特朗普总统减刑前众议员乔治·桑托斯的监禁刑期
摘要
唐纳德·特朗普总统已减刑前众议员乔治·桑托斯的监禁刑期，命令立即释放他。
唐纳德·特朗普总统于周五宣布减刑前众议员乔治·桑托斯的监禁刑期，命令立即释放他。桑托斯是纽约共和党人，因诈骗和身份盗用罪名被判七年监禁。
“乔治·桑托斯有点像个‘流氓’，但我们国家有很多流氓却没有被判七年监禁，”特朗普在他的社交媒体平台上表示。“因此，我刚刚签署了一项减刑令，立即释放乔治·桑托斯出狱。祝你好运，乔治，生活愉快！”
桑托斯于四月认罪，涉及电信诈骗和加重身份盗用等指控。检察官称他欺骗捐助者并挪用竞选资金用于个人开支。他于七月开始在新泽西费尔顿联邦惩教所服刑。
此次减刑是在包括众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林在内的多位人士呼吁后作出的，格林认为桑托斯的惩罚过重。格林表示：“乔治·桑托斯从未强奸任何人，从未谋杀任何人，也不是儿童性贩运者。他为什么被单独监禁？”她补充道：“对于他所被定罪的罪行来说，这是一种极端的待遇。”
桑托斯的政治生涯充满争议。他于2022年当选，但在2023年12月被逐出国会，原因是一份众议院伦理委员会报告发现他存在严重不当行为，包括将竞选资金用于个人用途和提交虚假竞选报告。
此次减刑是特朗普总统对前共和党政治人物一系列赦免行动的一部分。今年五月，他赦免了前众议员迈克尔·格里姆和前康涅狄格州州长约翰·罗兰德，两人均因腐败丑闻相关罪名被定罪。
