Former Congressman George Santos joins Greta Van Susteren for a wide-ranging conversation about prison, politics, President Trump, and life after one of the most public downfalls in recent political history.
Santos opens up about serving time in federal prison, spending 41 days in solitary confinement, receiving an 87-month sentence, and the moment he learned President Trump had commuted his sentence. He also discusses his future, criminal justice reform, Trump loyalty, Washington politics, Marjorie Taylor Greene, foreign policy, and the upcoming 25th anniversary of 9/11.
This is George Santos as you’ve never heard him before.
