R. Kelly's Attorneys Ask Trump To Set Him Free From Prison, Accuse Feds Of Plotting To Kill Him
- On June 10, 2025, attorney Beau Brindley submitted an emergency motion requesting that R. Kelly be moved to home detention from a North Carolina federal prison, citing claims that prison officials orchestrated a plan to have Kelly harmed.
- The motion claims Bureau of Prisons officials and prosecutors solicited Aryan Brotherhood gang members to kill Kelly to suppress evidence of prosecutorial misconduct during his New York and Chicago federal trials.
- Brindley detailed that two inmates confirmed being approached by officials to carry out the murder and that Kelly received warnings about possible poison in his food at the prison.
- The filing alleges breaches of Kelly’s constitutional protections related to speech, legal counsel, and cruel and unusual punishment, while Brindley states they are requesting an urgent appeal directly to President Donald Trump due to the immediate threat to Kelly’s life.
- Kelly's legal team argues that continued incarceration under these threats amounts to cruel and unusual punishment and emphasizes the urgent need for his release to protect his life during ongoing appeals.
