Trump Poised to Deny Diddy Clemency Amid Backlash | JQJO

Donald Trump has largely shelved any pardon or commutation for Sean “Diddy” Combs, despite months of lobbying, with the White House calling reports of imminent clemency “zero truth.” Advisers fear a “catastrophic” MAGA backlash, though the president could still reverse course. Combs was sentenced Oct. 3 to 50 months in prison, a $500,000 fine, and five years’ supervised release after convictions on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution; his lawyers filed an appeal Oct. 20. He’s seeking transfer from Brooklyn’s MDC to FCI Fort Dix, as the court recommends incarceration near New York and consideration for RDAP.
