Trump Now “Seriously Considering” Pardon For Sean Combs Ahead Of Sentencing; White House Officially Says Nothing
Donald Trump is reportedly “seriously considering” granting a presidential pardon to Sean “Diddy” Combs ahead of his October 3 sentencing. Combs was found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering, but was convicted on two counts of transporting individuals for prostitution. He has been denied bond multiple times and remains in federal custody.
While the White House has refused to confirm any clemency requests, insiders claim the topic has evolved from speculation to a “potentially actionable event.” Combs’ defense team has not officially participated in the pardon push, though personal and professional associates have been lobbying the administration.
Trump previously said he’d “look at the facts” if he believed someone was mistreated, regardless of personal ties. The consideration comes amid pressure on Trump regarding the Epstein files and backlash from allies like 50 Cent, who opposes the pardon.
A formal appeal by Combs is expected shortly after sentencing.
