Brian Kelsey’s failed 2016 Congressional campaign, the Nashville Post reports. Smith, who owns The Standard in Nashville, is scheduled to be sentenced in June. He faces a maximum of five years in prison. Kelsey is not seeking reelection to his Senate seat and is scheduled to go to trial in January on the federal charges.
