Convicted fraudster Carlos Watson says President Trump has commuted his 10-year prison sentence connected to his digital media startup Ozy Media.

It’s understood that Watson was en route to surrending himself to federal prison authorities when he received the call alerting him that his petition for a commuted sentence had been granted.

Martin, who trumpted Trump’s decision in an X post.
