Trump Commutes Son of Rep. Womack’s Prison Sentence in Drug Case
President Donald Trump has commuted the federal prison sentence of James Phillip Womack, son of U.S. Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark. Womack was sentenced to eight years in May 2024 for distributing over 5 grams of methamphetamine, though his supervised release remains intact. The congressman expressed gratitude for the commutation, stating it allows his son to be with family during a difficult time. Phillip Womack had previously pleaded guilty to the drug charge after being caught selling methamphetamine to a confidential source, and had faced prior convictions.
