P Diddy reportedly still believes he can secure an early release through a presidential pardon from Donald Trump. He has been openly discussing this possibility with fellow inmates, claiming that President Trump "owes him one."
This information surfaced after Trump confirmed he received a pardon request from P Diddy. A source told RadarOnline that Diddy insisted the deal for his release was already settled.
"Diddy told fellow inmates that President Trump owes him one."
Another insider revealed that Diddy possesses compromising material related to Trump's past, which he might be using as leverage to gain freedom. This could explain why Trump has not dismissed the idea of granting a pardon.
"Diddy allegedly has evidence about Trump’s past, influencing the President's stance on his pardon."
P Diddy was convicted on two counts related to transportation for the purpose of prostitution. He received a sentence of 4 years and 2 months in prison, along with a $500,000 fine and five years of supervised release post-incarceration.
His legal team has formally filed an appeal against his 50-month prison sentence, according to Billboard.
A high-ranking White House official told TMZ that President Trump is currently "vacillating" over whether to commute P Diddy's sentence. The official added that Trump intends to act according to his own judgment and could potentially release the music mogul soon.
"Trump would 'do what he wants' and could free P Diddy as early as this week."
