R. Kelly Seeks Trump Pardon, Attorney Says Singer Has Been ‘Punished’ to Solitary Confinement and ‘Has Spiders Crawling All Over Him’

R. Kelly is seeking a pardon from Trump and has been 'punished' to solitary confinement with 'spiders crawling all over him,' says his attorney.

In Tuesday’s filing, Brindley alleged that government officials violated attorney-client privilege by intercepting his communications to convict him, and subsequently solicited an inmate to murder him in retaliation for attempting to expose their actions. That includes seeking a pardon from President Donald Trump, a course of action that Kelly’s legal team considered while investigating the government’s alleged misconduct over the past year, but has become a priority with the threats on his life. Mikeal Glenn Stine, a terminally ill inmate who is a leader of the Aryan Brotherhood, gave a sworn declaration in the motion claiming that officials offered him freedom in his final days in exchange for Kelly’s murder.
