This situation highlights a broader pattern of what many perceive as blatant corruption and disregard for the rule of law.… Continue reading
Disgraced former Congressman George Santos has abandoned his pursuit of a presidential pardon from Donald Trump, accepting his seven-year prison sentence for campaign finance crimes.
