Donald Trump has stated he will not grant a pardon to Sean “Diddy” Combs. The statement came during an interview with The New York Times.
Donald Trump confirmed that Diddy requested a pardon through a letter. According to The New York Times, Trump indicated he is not considering the request and has no intention of pardoning several other high-profile individuals.
Reports surfaced last summer that Diddy’s attorney, Nicole Westmoreland, had initiated conversations regarding a potential pardon. Later, TMZ reported that Trump was considering clemency for Diddy, who is currently serving a four-year prison sentence on prostitution-related charges. The White House subsequently denied this report, labeling it “fake news.”
Trump and Diddy were previously social acquaintances. However, Trump stated that Diddy’s criticism of his presidential campaign would make a pardon more difficult. Trump described Diddy as “very hostile” during his campaign.
In a 2020 interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Diddy expressed concerns about a potential “race war” if Trump were re-elected. He also stated that “white men like Trump need to be banished.”
