Former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) “was released from a Bronx halfway house Tuesday morning, marking the end of a prison sentence he began in 2017 for sending explicit text messages to an underage girl,” NBC News reports.
Said Weiner: “It’s good to be out. I hope to be able to live a life of integrity and service. I’m glad this chapter of my life is behind me.”
