Jason Galanis's September 2020 guilty plea is the judgment. Us Weekly and the Daily Mail reported a sentence of more than 15 years and a commutation in March 2025. A commutation cuts what is left of a sentence. The pardons those outlets reported for Todd and Julie Chrisley are a different form of clemency. The pregnancy announcement does not reopen the fraud case, and neither outlet reported that the two men met inside the Pensacola camp.
Us Weekly reported Tuesday, Oct. 27, 2026, that it could confirm the man Savannah Chrisley, 29, had called "J" or "Jason" is Jason Galanis, after she said she is pregnant and engaged. The Daily Mail, in a story published at 8:51 a.m. EDT Wednesday and updated at 8:58 a.m. EDT, reported she revealed Tuesday that she was expecting her first child with a partner she had called "J," and that Us Weekly identified him as Galanis. Us Weekly reported he is 56, or 27 years older than she is. The Daily Mail reported the same ages and the same gap. On her podcast "Unlocked," she said, "So yes, the age difference. So what?" Us Weekly and the Daily Mail both reported that line.
Both outlets reported he was sentenced in September 2020 to more than 15 years in prison after pleading guilty to two fraud schemes. Us Weekly reported one scheme defrauded a Native American tribe and investors out of tens of millions of dollars. The Daily Mail, citing federal authorities, reported one of the operations targeted a Native American tribe and investors for millions. Tens of millions and millions are not the same figure. The Daily Mail reported that, as part of the sentence, he was ordered to forfeit more than $80 million and properties in Los Angeles and New York, and to pay more than $80 million in restitution. The guilty plea is the conviction. Us Weekly and the Daily Mail reported President Trump commuted the sentence in March 2025. The outlets use commuted for him. They use pardoned for her parents.
Us Weekly reported Trump pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley in May 2025, two months after the Galanis commutation, in their bank fraud and tax evasion case, and that Todd, 57, and Galanis both served time at the Federal Prison Camp in Pensacola, Florida. The Daily Mail reported the Chrisley pardon came months after the commutation, on their 2022 bank fraud and tax evasion convictions, and, citing Page Six, reported both men were in custody at that camp from January 2023 to August 2023. The Daily Mail reported prosecutors said Todd and Julie had taken out millions in bank loans under fraudulent circumstances and were accused of hiding income. Those are the cases as the two outlets described them. Neither reported that Galanis and Todd Chrisley met at the camp. Shared custody dates are not a meeting. The engagement and the pregnancy are not a new charge.

A Delaware judge dismissed Candace Owens from the Macrons' defamation suit and left her companies in the case.
Dismissal of the person is not a ruling that the statements were true, and it is not the end of the lawsuit. The companies are still defendants. AFP described the French clock as a three-month rule with a possible one-year extension. The order instead tells the remaining parties to brief which of those two French timelines controls.

Antoine de Massy, a cousin of Prince Albert II, was found dead in a Monaco garden.
The communique France 3 printed does not mention a nightclub and does not give the man a nationality. The Daily Mail, citing AFP, said de Massy was last seen staggering out of a nightclub early Sunday. L'Est Républicain, citing Monaco-Matin, reported that account and wrote that the prosecutor declined to comment on it. Monaco-Matin placed the body behind Villa Sauber. The Daily Mail placed it behind the New National Museum. The prosecutor's line is a park below the boulevard. He has not named a charge. The cause of death is what the investigation was opened to determine.

Dez Bryant says a Southlake officer pointed a gun at him in front of his family.
The citation OutKick reviewed is the paper it describes: assault by contact, no arrest, a November court date. It is not a conviction, and it does not decide who started the argument. Bryant's account of a threat, and of an officer pointing a gun at him, is what he told OutKick, which also said footage he provided showed an officer aiming a gun in his direction. OutKick said it asked the City of Southlake for comment and did not report a response.
