Tennessee Lawmaker Avoids Prison in Corruption Case After Trump Pardon

A former Tennessee lawmaker, Robin Smith, received a reduced sentence to probation after cooperating in a corruption case involving ex-House speaker Glen Casada and aide Cade Cothren, whose prison sentences were pardoned by Trump. Smith's cooperation helped secure convictions, and her sentence was shortened from eight months to one year of probation, with her attorneys seeking a presidential pardon.
