Overview

• President Donald Trump told reporters that Sean "Diddy" Combs asked him for a presidential pardon, without indicating whether he will grant clemency.
• Combs received a 50-month federal sentence and a $500,000 fine on Mann Act convictions, with roughly a year of time served at Brooklyn’s MDC credited.
• Combs’ lawyers filed a letter asking Judge Arun Subramanian to strongly recommend placement at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey to access the RDAP drug treatment program and facilitate family visitation.
• The defense says it will appeal, arguing the judge’s sentencing rationale leaned on conduct tied to counts on which the jury acquitted Combs.
• Any prison assignment will be made by the Bureau of Prisons, and Combs still faces multiple civil lawsuits related to alleged abuse he has denied.
