President Donald Trump has granted clemency to a Republican congressman's son who was in prison for distributing methamphetamine.

Trump commuted the federal sentence of James Phillip Womack, the son of Arkansas Rep. Steve Womack, on Thursday, Jan. 15, according to the official Executive Grant of Clemency signed by Trump and issued by the U.S. Department of Justice.

A White House official told USA TODAY that coupled with James Womack's record of good behavior in prison, the family has had several recent health issues, including his mother being diagnosed with abdominal cancer and his brother suffering from a seizure disorder and having difficulty living by himself.

The congressman’s son was sentenced in federal court in May 2024 to a $1,900 fine and eight years in prison for distributing more than five grams of methamphetamine, according to court record

2. Is Rep Womack wealthy enough to have paid for that commutation....

Or does trump simply own his soul now?
I doubt many Republican Congressmen have souls with much trading value.
