White House responds over claims Trump is considering reducing P Diddy sentence
According to reports from TMZ, President Donald Trump is considering commuting the prison sentence of Sean “Diddy” Combs. This action would result in the music mogul being released early.
Combs is currently serving a 50-month sentence for violating the Mann Act. He has already been incarcerated for 13 months of that term.
The outlet cited a high-ranking White House official, claiming the President is “vacillating” on the decision. The report suggested Trump could free Combs as early as next week.
It was noted that some White House staff are advising against the commutation. However, the source stated that “Trump will do what he wants,” indicating his decision would be final.
This speculation follows President Trump’s recent commutation of former Congressman George Santos’s sentence just last Friday.
The White House has now publicly responded, denying the accuracy of TMZ’s report. Officials have labeled the story as incorrect.
In reaction to the denial, TMZ has stated that it stands by its original reporting, creating a conflicting narrative between the media outlet and the administration.
