Overview

• President Donald Trump told reporters that Sean "Diddy" Combs asked for a presidential pardon, offering no commitment beyond saying he would consult the Justice Department.
• Days after a 50‑month sentence and a $500,000 fine, Combs’ attorneys asked Judge Arun Subramanian to recommend FCI Fort Dix so he can enter the RDAP drug treatment program and stay closer to family.
• Judges can make placement recommendations, but the Bureau of Prisons makes the final decision on designation and has not acted on Fort Dix for Combs.
• Combs was convicted in July on two Mann Act counts and acquitted of racketeering and sex‑trafficking charges; his lawyers say they will appeal the sentence.
• Credit for roughly 12 months already served at Brooklyn’s MDC could put his remaining time at about three years, while numerous civil lawsuits against him continue.
