R. Kelly’s attorney has formally requested a presidential pardon from Donald Trump. The request for clemency was officially filed on Tuesday, as reported by TMZ on Wednesday. Details of the request remain undisclosed, but it signals a last-ditch effort to secure the R&B singer’s release. Kelly was convicted of racketeering and sexual abuse and is currently serving a lengthy prison sentence. This follows previous attempts to appeal the conviction and is a significant development in the ongoing legal saga. It is currently unknown if Trump will consider, or grant, the request.
