退伍军人批评特朗普减免乔治·桑托斯刑期
摘要
退役海军老兵理查德·奥斯托夫对特朗普总统减免前众议员乔治·桑托斯的刑期表示失望。
理查德·奥斯托夫是一名退役美国海军老兵，他强烈反对唐纳德·特朗普总统最近减免前众议员乔治·桑托斯的刑期。奥斯托夫声称，2016年，桑托斯通过GoFundMe筹集了3000美元，原本用于奥斯托夫的军犬“蓝宝石”的医疗治疗，但桑托斯挪用了这笔资金，导致这只军犬死亡。桑托斯否认了这些指控，称其为“令人震惊且疯狂”。
桑托斯于2023年12月因承认多项欺诈指控被逐出国会，并于2025年7月开始服七年监禁。2025年10月17日，特朗普总统减免了他的刑期，称桑托斯遭受了“极其不公正的待遇”，应立即获释。
奥斯托夫表达了他的失望，称这次减刑就像“在胃部捅了一刀”，并认为桑托斯至少应该服刑一半。他还批评了特朗普总统的行为，暗示这反映出对军人退伍老兵的不尊重。
此次减刑引发了两党批评，许多人质疑桑托斯提前获释的合理性。桑托斯在最近一次采访中称他的刑期“过于严苛”，并对减刑表示感谢。
