In a dramatic swirl of rumours and denials, a TMZ report that US President Donald Trump was 'vacillating' over commuting Sean 'Diddy' Combs' sentence unleashed a political and cultural firestorm this week.
The story began when entertainment site TMZ published an 'exclusive' saying a 'high-ranking White House official' told its reporters that Trump was considering a commutation for the music mogul 'as early as this week', and that some White House aides were urging him against it.
