17.10.2025 ⇢ The Day Trump Commuted Santos' Sentence
⌨
US media continued its heavy focus on the indictment of former National Security Advisor John Bolton for mishandling classified documents in the morning, with reports of his surrender and not-guilty plea dominating early coverage. Concurrently, President Trump's diplomatic efforts, including a planned Putin summit and a meeting with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, garnered significant attention. The ongoing government shutdown remained a background narrative. By late afternoon and evening, the primary focus shifted dramatically to President Trump's commutation of George Santos' prison sentence, leading to his immediate release. This development became the most prominent story, overshadowing other ongoing political and legal news.
