Please see below for a statement from Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) –
“George Santos was not ‘somewhat of a rogue’. He is a dangerous and unrepentant charlatan who stole vast sums from his campaign donors and fabricated just about everything about himself he claimed to be true – right down to lying about where he lived during his first run for Congress in 2020,” Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) said. “His deceit was so profound that he was expelled from the House of Representatives before being convicted of numerous felonies and sentenced to nearly seven years in prison. I condemn President Trump’s decision to commute his sentence - it is a perversion of justice that further corrodes the rule of law and undermines our democracy.”
