Trump considering commuting Diddy’s sentence
President Donald Trump is reportedly weighing a commutation of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ 50-month federal prison sentence, possibly this week. According to multiple news outlets, a White House insider told TMZ that Trump is “vacillating” on the decision, with some senior staff reportedly opposing the move.
The reports say Combs’ legal team reached out to the White House soon after his sentencing, seeking clemency. Trump has acknowledged that Combs asked for a pardon, referring to him by his nickname “Puff Daddy,” though he has not committed publicly to granting it.
However, the White House has denied the rumors of imminent action. A spokesperson called the TMZ story “fake news,” stating there is “zero truth” to claims that Trump is actively considering commuting Combs’ sentence.
If Trump does issue a commutation, Combs could be freed before completing his full sentence. But the internal divide within the White House and the formal denial make the outcome uncertain.
