Diddy could be a free man as early as this week with the help of President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
According to TMZ<\/em><\/a>, Trump is considering commuting the Bad Boy mogul’s four-year prison sentence on prostitution-related charges.<\/p>\n A high-ranking White House official told the publication that the president, who has rubbed shoulders with Puffy numerous times over the years, is “vacillating” on a commutation.<\/p>\n “We’re told some of the W.H. staff are urging Trump not to commute the sentence,” TMZ<\/em> reports. “But, our source states the obvious — “Trump will do what he wants,” and we’re told Trump could set Diddy free as early as this week.”<\/p>\n Diddy was sentenced earlier this month to 50 months behind bars after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution this past summer.<\/p>\n Days later, Diddy’s legal team reached out to the president in hopes of securing a commutation or pardon. Trump himself confirmed this on October 6<\/a>, telling reporters inside the Oval Office: “A lot of people have asked me for pardons. I call him Puff Daddy, [he] has asked me for a pardon.”<\/p>\n The mogul’s attorneys are also exploring an app<\/a>eal to his sentence, which they have called unfairly lengthy and improperly based on the more serious racketeering and sex trafficking allegations of which he was acquitted.<\/p>\n Diddy is additionally campaigning to serve his sentence at FCI Fort Dix, a low-security prison in New Jersey, which he claims is the\u00a0best place for him to \u201caddress [his] drug abuse issues\u201d and \u201cmaximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n However, the judge who oversaw his high-profile trial argued that the disgraced mogul should do his hard time as close to the New York metropolitan area as possible.<\/p>\n Federal prosecutors have taken \u201cno position\u201d on where the 55-year-old should be shipped off to. Ultimately, the decision belongs to the Bureau of Prisons.<\/p>\n All this could be irrelevant, of course, if Trump intervenes in Diddy’s favor. And what a bombshell moment it would be if he does.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Trump Reportedly Considering Commuting Diddy’s Prison Sentence appeared first on HipHopDX.<\/p>\n If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
