Episode Details

R. Kelly, the disgraced singer behind “I Believe I Can Fly,” is seeking a 30-year prison sentence reduction from President Trump — not a full pardon — after his legal team filed for a new trial and claimed he’s being denied critical medical care for life-threatening blood clots. His lawyers allege his treatment in prison has worsened since the motion went public, including solitary confinement and family call restrictions. An inmate even claims prison officials conspired with a white supremacist to target Kelly, allegedly offering him freedom in exchange for carrying out a hit. While the judge reviews the new trial request, the bond motion was denied — and the White House says all clemency requests, including Kelly’s, are subject to a rigorous review process before any decision is made.
