Former Congressman George Santos Addresses Concerns Before Prison Term

New York, NY — Former Congressman George Santos issued a warning on Wednesday via social media just days before his prison term begins. Santos was recently sentenced to seven years in prison for multiple charges, including fraud and theft.

In his post on X, formerly Twitter, Santos sought to reassure his supporters. He declared, “I’m not suicidal. I’m not depressed. I have no intentions of harming myself, and I will not willingly engage in any sexual activity while I’m in there.” This statement comes as he prepares to enter the Bureau of Prisons, where he expressed concerns about the treatment of gay men.

Santos added, “If anything comes out suggesting otherwise, consider it a lie…full stop.” He hopes to clarify any rumors that may arise during his incarceration. “So if something does happen, there’s no confusion. I did NOT kill myself,” he continued.

His post garnered reactions from followers, including a question about whether anyone had attempted to secure a pardon for him. Santos responded by alleging that House Speaker Mike Johnson intervened to block a potential pardon from President Joe Biden. “Speaker Johnson Blocked it,” Santos wrote, without providing supporting evidence for his assertion.

This claim has been met with skepticism, as many pointed out the lack of transparency and inconsistencies in his statement. Observers noted that Johnson has not publicly criticized President Biden, raising questions about Santos’ accusations. HuffPost reached out to Johnson’s office for a comment but did not receive an immediate response.

As Santos begins his prison term, the fallout from his controversial political career continues to unfold, leaving many to wonder how his time in custody will affect his future.
