White House Denies Trump Is Considering Commuting Diddy’s Sentence

Combs has filed an appeal after receiving a 50‑month sentence on Mann Act convictions.

Overview

  • An official statement on Tuesday said there is “zero truth” to a TMZ report that President Trump could move to commute Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sentence this week.
  • TMZ had reported a high‑ranking White House source said Trump was “vacillating” on a commutation; the outlet says it stands by its reporting.
  • Combs’ lawyers filed a notice of appeal in federal court on Monday, with full briefing to follow.
  • Combs was sentenced on Oct. 3 to 50 months in prison, a $500,000 fine, and five years of supervised release, with about 13 months credited for time already served.
  • His attorneys asked the judge to recommend placement at FCI Fort Dix, though the Bureau of Prisons makes the final decision; Trump has acknowledged Combs requested clemency but no action has been taken.
