• On Monday, defense lawyers asked Judge Arun Subramanian to recommend placement at FCI Fort Dix so Combs can enter the RDAP drug‑treatment program and maintain family visitation, though the Bureau of Prisons makes the final decision.
• Trump acknowledged the pardon request in Oval Office remarks and gave no indication he would grant it, saying he would speak with the DOJ.
