The White House has denied a TMZ report saying that President Donald Trump is considering commuting the sentence of rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, who was convicted of sex crimes.

The president was considering commuting Diddy’s sentence "as early as this week," TMZ said, citing "a high-ranking White House official." The official also claimed that Trump is "vacillating" on the decision and will ultimately "do what he wants."

'The president, not anonymous sources, is the final decider on pardons and commutations.'

On Tuesday the White House denied the report and accused TMZ of neglecting to ask the administration to comment on the story.

"There is zero truth to the TMZ report, which we would’ve gladly explained had they reached out before running their fake news," read the statement.
