‘This Is Something That Is Very Rarely Given’: R. Kelly’s Lawyer Weighs In On How Diddy Could Still Get A Trump Pardon

by

Sean “Diddy” Combs has begun his four-year prison sentence after being moved to a new facility. While he’s expected to serve around 50 months, there’s still a chance President Trump could pardon him. The President has given conflicting signals about a possible pardon, but some legal analysts believe it’s still possible. Even one of R. Kelly’s attorneys is now offering insights into how Combs might receive clemency.

Nicole Blank Becker started representing R. Kelly in 2019, when he was facing accusations of sexual abuse. He was later convicted on several charges in 2021 and 2022 and is now serving a 31-year prison sentence. While Kelly didn’t receive a pardon, Becker thinks a pardon for Diddy is still possible. She told Fox News Digital that there likely are hidden details to the situation that aren’t currently known.

If a full explanation of the allegations against P. Diddy is provided and brought to the attention of the President and his team, it could help ensure the proper authorities investigate the matter thoroughly.

Earlier this year, Sean Combs (known as Diddy) faced a complex trial. He was found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering, but convicted on two charges related to transporting people for the purpose of prostitution. These charges were brought under the Mann Act, a law also used in the case against R. Kelly. At his sentencing hearing in October, Diddy expressed regret for his actions, but the judge indicated he would need to demonstrate genuine remorse if he hopes to receive a pardon.

They aren’t considering pardons for anyone who intends to harm the government or disrupt federal operations.

According to Nicole Blank Becker, who has previously offered insights on the Diddy trial, it’s important to think about who would ask for a pardon. Becker believes it can’t be just anyone, and she has a specific idea of the type of people who might make such a request.

People involved aren’t speaking to the press, and they’re keeping their actions quiet. What they’re doing isn’t being accurately reported, and the public’s understanding of the situation is very different from reality. This kind of information is seldom shared, but frequently requested, though not as it’s currently being presented.

More on Diddy

A man who allegedly shielded Diddy during a recent knife attack has spoken out, saying he’s never witnessed the rapper deal with a crisis like this before.

There are two aspects to this issue. One involves whether President Trump would be willing to consider a pardon. It’s currently unclear if he’d even be open to it. He stated in June that he wasn’t closely following the case and would need to look into it further. Around that time, 50 Cent suggested he’d oppose any pardon. In August, Trump admitted he and Diddy were friendly years ago, as they both moved in New York’s elite circles, but indicated he was leaning towards denying a pardon.

In October, the president stated that Sean “Diddy” Combs had asked for a pardon, but it doesn’t appear anything has happened with that request. Combs is currently serving his sentence at FCI Fort Dix, as planned. Although it’s unknown if he’ll ultimately receive a pardon, he recently won a legal battle when his appeal was fast-tracked.
