**Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Pursues Pardon from Trump Amid Legal Troubles**
Sean “Diddy” Combs is reportedly seeking a pardon from former President Donald Trump as he faces significant legal challenges. A source close to Combs’ legal team revealed that discussions have taken place regarding a potential clemency request. However, a White House spokesperson declined to comment on the matter.
Recently, Combs was denied bail ahead of his sentencing scheduled for October, where he could face up to 20 years in prison following his conviction on prostitution-related charges. Despite the severity of the potential sentence, it is anticipated that the actual time served may be considerably less. In July, he was found guilty of two counts of transportation for prostitution but was acquitted of more serious charges, including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, which could have resulted in life sentences.
During a recent interview with Newsmax, Trump acknowledged that he had been approached about Combs but did not indicate any decision regarding a pardon. He expressed some reservations, stating, “I was very friendly with him… But when I ran for office, he was very hostile.” When asked if a pardon was more likely to be a “no,” Trump replied, “I would say so.”
Combs, known for co-founding Bad Boy Records and launching the career of the late Notorious B.I.G., has been a prominent figure in pop culture for decades. In addition to his criminal conviction, he is currently facing multiple civil lawsuits.
As the situation unfolds, the future of Sean “Diddy” Combs remains uncertain, with his legal battles continuing to attract significant media attention.
