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美国众议员乔治·桑托斯超过七年的监禁刑期，桑托斯曾因欺诈和身份盗用罪名认罪。
唐纳德·特朗普总统已减刑前美国众议员乔治·桑托斯的监禁刑期，桑托斯因欺诈和身份盗用罪名被判超过七年。桑托斯是纽约共和党人，4月认罪，涉及电信欺诈和身份盗用等指控，承认欺骗捐赠者并滥用其身份向其竞选活动输送资金。他于7月开始在新泽西费尔顿联邦惩教所服刑。
特朗普在其社交媒体平台发布声明称：“我刚刚签署了一项减刑令，立即释放乔治·桑托斯出狱。”他形容桑托斯为“有些像‘流氓’”，但认为其他类似罪行者并未受到如此长的刑期。
桑托斯此前曾向政府提出上诉，声称其刑期过重且具有政治动机。众议员玛乔丽·泰勒·格林也为其请求宽恕，称该惩罚是“严重的不公”，并且是司法权力过度扩张的例子。
主审法官同意检察官的意见，认为鉴于桑托斯明显缺乏悔意，应判处更严厉的刑罚。这次减刑是特朗普对前共和党官员一系列赦免行动中的最新一例，包括对前众议员迈克尔·格里姆和前康涅狄格州州长约翰·罗兰的赦免。
桑托斯曾被视为共和党的新星，但在2023年因被揭露捏造大量个人和职业经历而被逐出国会。他认罪后，涉及从捐赠者处盗窃、欺诈性领取失业救济金以及向国会谎报财务状况等指控。
