However he had served 13 of his 17 year sentence and has been under home confinement since 2020.

His sentence was commuted by President Joe Biden on December 12, 2024, as part of a blanket commutation of offenders who'd been granted home confinement during the COVID-19 Pandemic.[26][27]

So really not a great change.
