R Kelly Asks Trump for Sentence Commutation | Nigeria News

R. Kelly, behind bars for 31 years over sex trafficking and racketeering charges involving minors, is formally asking President Trump to commute his sentence — a move his team has been pushing for over a year. Despite denying all allegations and maintaining his innocence, his legal team’s latest plea comes as he’s still serving time in North Carolina, with release not expected until 2046. The request, filed with the DOJ, seeks clemency — not a pardon — and follows prior failed attempts to get him moved to home detention. The case remains under review as the nation watches this high-profile, controversial plea unfold. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
