Disgraced R&B singer R. Kelly has asked President Donald Trump to commute his 30-year prison sentence for sex abuse.
A federal appeals court has upheld singer R. Kelly's racketeering convictions and a 30-year prison sentence, finding he exploited his fame for over a quarter century to sexually abuse girls and young women.
The singer's federal trial on charges he conspired to obstruct justice in his 2008 state child pornography trial starts Monday in Chicago.
Kelly claims officials at the Metropolitan Detention Center knew he was not suicidal after his sentencing.
