Overview
- TMZ reported that a 'high‑ranking White House official' said the president was vacillating and could commute Combs' sentence this week, a claim the outlet stands by.
- A White House spokesperson said there is 'zero truth' to the report and stressed that the president alone decides pardons and commutations.
- No clemency has been announced for Combs, whose case is drawing attention following last week’s commutation of former Rep. George Santos.
- Combs’ lawyers filed a notice of appeal in federal court, seeking to overturn his July Mann Act convictions and 50‑month sentence.
- The 55‑year‑old remains listed at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center with roughly 13 months credited, a $500,000 fine imposed, and five years of supervised release to follow.
