R. Kelly<\/a>\u2018s defense team dropped a bombshell on Tuesday, making an urgent plea to President Trump<\/a> for the singer\u2019s release from federal custody. In a shocking twist, they alleged that prison authorities are involved in a sinister plot to tamper with his mail and orchestrated a plan involving a white supremacist to end his life behind bars.<\/p>\n

The singer\u2019s legal representatives filed an emergency motion in Chicago\u2019s federal court, highlighting the grave danger to Kelly\u2019s life as he serves his 30-year sentence for sex-related crimes. They made a direct appeal to President Trump, urging immediate intervention for Kelly\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

\u201cR. Kelly\u2019s life is now threatened, because of his willingness to fight and to expose the very kind of corruption that President Trump has been fighting and standing up to since the day he took that office,\u201d Kelly\u2019s attorney, Beau Brindley<\/strong>, said at a press conference Tuesday afternoon<\/a>. \u201cWe will ask President Trump to help us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The timing is notable, as Trump recently commuted notorious Gangster Disciples co-founder Larry Hoover<\/strong>\u2018s sentence and has hinted at potentially pardoning Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs<\/strong>, who faces sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Earlier this year, Trump also pardoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich<\/strong>, following up on his previous commutation of Blagojevich\u2019s corruption sentence five years ago.<\/p>\n
