Former U.S. Representative George Santos served 84 days of a 7-year sentence for fraud and identity theft before President Donald Trump commuted his sentence.
"I am not paying too much attention to the pearl clutching of the outrage of my critics and of the people predominantly on the left who are going to go out there and try to make a big deal out of something like this,"
Santos described his time behind bars as "a very large slice of humble pie" and expressed readiness for a second chance.
Santos dismissed criticism from both Republicans and Democrats, who argued that his short sentence was not just.
