Trump pardons former Tennessee House speaker convicted of federal public corruption charges
Glen Casada and Cade Cothren were pardoned after convictions for corruption involving over $35,000 in bribes, with Casada sentenced to 36 months in federal prison.
- Casada was sentenced to three years in prison, Cothren to 2.5 years, and former state Rep. Robin Smith to eight months in prison after being found guilty of misusing state funds through a legislative mailer program.
- The scheme resulted in less than $5,000 profit but prompted an intense federal investigation with raids and potential lengthy sentences, deemed excessive for the low financial amount involved.
