US EditionTrump Commutes Sentence of GOP Rep. Womack's Son
James Phillip Womack's eight-year methamphetamine sentence was commuted due to good prison behavior and family health crises, including his mother’s cancer, officials said.
- On Jan. 15, President Donald Trump commuted James Phillip Womack's federal sentence via an Executive Grant of Clemency from the U.S. Department of Justice and Office of the Pardon Attorney.
- A White House official said the commutation factored in James Womack's good prison behavior and serious family health issues, including his mother's abdominal cancer and a brother with a seizure disorder.
- Court records show James Phillip Womack was sentenced in May 2024 to eight years in prison and a $1,900 fine, but the commutation does not erase his conviction and leaves five years of supervised release intact.
- Speaking to Arkansas stations, Rep. Steve Womack said the commutation allowed his son to be with the family during a 'profoundly difficult time' and thanked Trump for a call that 'made an impression that I'll cherish forever.'
- Given James Phillip Womack's arrest history and the administration's drug-trafficking rhetoric, critics may note his long record since 2007 and a 2018 case with over 10 charges, making the clemency politically notable as Rep. Steve Womack sits on the House Appropriations Committee.
