Pres. Donald Trump “Seriously Considering” A Diddy Pardon Ahead Of Trial Sentencing

Following Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal trial for racketeering, sex trafficking, and prostitution and his conviction on the latter charge he may walk away from it all, if Pres. Donald Trump has his way. Trump is “seriously considering” giving Combs a full presidential pardon ahead of his sentencing later this year. For months, Trump has “entertained” pardoning Diddy and several of his associates have been nudging the idea, as well with insiders confirming to the outlet that this thought is more than “just another Trump weave to an actionable event.” However, nothing has been confirmed. Combs’ request to be released from Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center has been denied numerous times along with a $50 million bond. His legal team filed a motion once more this week, which detailed restrictions on Combs’ travel and who he interacts with. “The prosecution and continued incarceration of Sean Combs are unique in the history of the Mann Act,” the motion read. “Sean Combs should not be in jail for this conduct.” Judge Subramanian gave the prosecution and the defense a July 30 deadline to put together a detailed proposal on what letting Combs out would look like. Combs could spend up to three years in federal prison following his sentencing on October 3 and the sentence would include time served. Prosecutors are seeking maximum sentencing. Combs’ defense team, led by Marc Agnifilo and Teny Gerago, had “no comment” on the rumored pardon and White House officials said in a statement, “The White House will not comment on the existence or nonexistence of any clemency request.” When the mixed verdict came in from Combs’ trial, Trump spoke on a potential pardon and said he’d “certainly look at the facts if I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me.”
