Overview

• Combs is serving a 50‑month federal sentence with a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release, with roughly a year of credit for time already served at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.
• A July split verdict convicted him on two Mann Act counts for transportation to engage in prostitution while acquitting him of racketeering and sex‑trafficking charges.
• On Monday, his attorneys asked Judge Arun Subramanian to recommend placement at FCI Fort Dix to access the Residential Drug Abuse Program and facilitate family visitation, though the Bureau of Prisons makes the final designation.
• Defense lawyers say they are preparing an appeal, arguing the court relied on unproven or acquitted conduct in imposing the 50‑month term.
• Trump confirmed Combs requested a pardon and said he would speak to DOJ, offering no timeline or commitment, as Combs remains at MDC pending BOP placement.
