President Donald Trump is reportedly considering commuting Sean "Diddy" Combs' 50-month prison sentence as early as this week. A high-ranking White House official told TMZ that Trump is "vacillating" on the decision, with some staff members urging him not to intervene.
Diddy's legal team reached out to the White House shortly after his sentencing to discuss the possibility of a commutation or pardon. Trump has previously stated that he was "basically, sort of, half-innocent" due to Diddy's acquittal on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
The potential commutation has sparked debate, with some arguing it would be a miscarriage of justice. Diddy has already served 13 months of his sentence and could be released early if Trump grants the commutation.
Diddy's appeal is expected to be heard by a three-judge panel of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals. The outcome of Trump's decision could have significant implications for Diddy's music career and beyond.
