Trump Frees Congressman’s Son in Meth Case - Mercy or Favouritism?
President Trump's latest clemency decision is sparking a nationwide debate. In January 2026, Trump commuted the eight-year federal prison sentence of James Phillip Womack, the son of a sitting Republican congressman, who was convicted of distributing meth and possessing a firearm as a felon.
Supporters call it compassion for addiction. Critics see political favouritism that clashes with "law and order" promises. The move comes as part of a broader wave of pardons and commutations, raising bigger questions about how presidential power is used and who truly benefits.
Is this mercy in action or a double standard in justice?
Watch the full breakdown, the reactions, and what this decision could mean for future clemency cases in the United States.
