Sean Combs Fights for Early Release, Reaches Out to Trump

0:00On April 9, Sean Combs, the 56-year-old bad boy founder is pushing hard through his lawyers to get an appeals court to speed up its ruling. On his sentence, he's serving 50 months at a low security spot in Fort Dick's, New Jersey, for transporting folks across state lines for prostitution, that puts his release around April 15, 2028, unless something changes fast. The conviction came after an eight-week trial last summer, where a New York jury cleared him of bigger charges like racketeering and sex trafficking. His ex, Cassie Ventura, and another woman, but they nailed him on the lesser count tied to so-called freak-offs, where male escorts cross states for encounters with the women. His team appealed the judges call right after sentencing in October, saying the court wrongly factored in stuff he got acquitted on, like fraud and coercion. During arguments, one appeals judge pushed back, saying it's fair game to weigh all his actions for sentencing, including trial details on. Psychological abuse, emotional harm, and drugging the women.

1:03That same judge grilled the defense on treating the prostitution charge, like an afterthought, while prosecutors chased the heavy hitters that didn't. Stick. Combs isn't stopping there, he's also fighting to flip the conviction entirely. Meanwhile, he's reaching out personally, even pending a letter to his old connect, President Donald Trump, for a possible pardon as part of this. Full court press to give back out.
