Overview
- TMZ, echoed by Complex, reports that the president could move to commute the 50‑month sentence as soon as this week, citing a high‑ranking White House source.
- The source says internal staff have urged against clemency, though the president is described as undecided.
- Diddy has served 13 months for Mann Act convictions and, with credit, could be released in roughly two years absent clemency.
- Diddy's lawyers contacted a senior White House official shortly after his early October sentencing, and on Oct. 6 the president acknowledged being asked to consider a pardon.
- The deliberations follow the Oct. 18 commutation of former Congressman George Santos’ sentence, and coverage notes Diddy endorsed Joe Biden in 2020.
