White House Denies Trump Considering Diddy Sentence Commutation

President Donald Trump is reportedly considering commuting the 50-month prison sentence of rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs, who has already served 13 months for violating the Mann Act. While some White House staff have advised against the move, sources emphasize that Trump remains unpredictable and may act decisively on his own terms, with a decision possibly coming as early as this week. This potential commutation follows Trump's recent commutation of former Congressman George Santos, signaling a renewed use of presidential clemency powers in high-profile cases. Trump has previously described Combs as "essentially, sort of, half innocent" due to his acquittal on major charges, though he indicated it was "more likely a no" regarding a pardon. Diddy's legal team has filed an appeal and reached out to senior White House officials soon after sentencing, keeping the possibility of clemency alive. The White House, however, has strongly denied some reports about an imminent decision, calling them "completely fraudulent," underscoring the uncertainty surrounding the matter.
