Ex-Congressman Santos Ends Social Media Presence Before Prison Term

Former U.S. Representative George Santos deleted his X account following a week-long series of posts criticizing fellow Republicans and expressing frustration about his upcoming prison sentence. Santos, who was expelled from Congress after serving only 11 months, is scheduled to begin a seven-year prison term on July 25 for wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. His final posts indicated he had abandoned efforts to seek a presidential pardon from Donald Trump.
