nnPresident Donald Trump addressed the possibility of pardoning Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs during an August 1 interview, describing Combs as ‘sort of half-innocent’ after his recent prostitution-related conviction. Trump acknowledged their past friendship but noted Combs became ‘very hostile’ during his political career, complicating a pardon decision. This marks Trump’s second public comment on the matter, having previously stated in May he would ‘look at the facts’ impartially. Combs faces up to 20 years in prison following his partial acquittal on more severe sex trafficking charges. Sentencing is scheduled for October 3.
