George Santos grew weepy Thursday night while pleading with President Trump to pardon him from a seven-year prison sentence for defrauding campaign donors — with the lying ex-congressman acknowledging he is “not an altar boy.”
“I’ll take a commutation, clemency, whatever the president is willing to give me,” Santos said on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” while adding he was “not entertaining a pardon” until recently.
“President Trump, I’d appreciate if you can give me a consideration,” the former Long Island pol said, choking back tears.
“I’m not an altar boy — but I’m not a hardened criminal.”
Last month, Central Islip federal court Judge Joanna Seybert sentenced Santos, 36, to seven years and three months behind bars and ordered him to pay $373,000 after he pleaded guilty in August to charges of wire fraud and identity theft.
While running for Congress in 2022, the Republican candidate had defrauded dozens of donors — including some family members and friends — and later filed false campaign finance reports to juice his contribution figures.
“I don’t want this to seem like a political pitch; I want it to be a fair pitch,” Santos said Thursday of his clemency bid, which he confirmed he is in the process of filing a formal application for.
Trump’s recently-bumped acting Washington, DC, US Attorney Ed Martin will now be overseeing pardons and commutations.
“I think no one better than Trump to know what a weaponized Justice Department looks like,” Santos added.
“This is exactly it. Seven years and three months in prison for a first time offender over campaign matters just screams over the top.”
The Post reached out to reps for the White House and Martin for comment.
