Hermès, Donor Restitution, and Financial Plans

What really happened inside George Santos’ prison cell, and why does he now say being expelled from Congress was the best thing that ever happened to him? On this unfiltered episode of the Tara Palmeri Show, George Santos sits down for his first long-form interview since President Trump commuted his sentence and he walked out of federal prison after 84 days. He pushes back hard on the “stole from a dying dog” narrative, explains why he believes his prosecution was politically driven, reveals the lingering PTSD from 41 days in solitary, and refuses to pick between Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene. From Hermès bags to OnlyFans rumors, from FEMA diamonds to Bob Menendez’s gold bars, nothing is off limits as Santos insists most of Congress runs the same playbook, they just never got caught. Which moment from George Santos shocked you the most, and do you believe he’s actually done with politics for good?
