Tearful George Santos pleads for a pardon from Trump
"Former congressman George Santos, who pleaded guilty to wire fraud and identity theft last year, is hoping President Donald Trump bestows some form of clemency to keep him from serving seven years in federal prison.
Last month, a federal judge in New York sentenced Santos to 87 months in prison for his crimes, believing the former congressman had no remorse for the campaign donors and voters he lied to and swindled out of money.
On Thursday, Santos appeared teary-eyed and lethargic on Piers Morgan Uncensored to make his plea to the president.
