Former U.S. President Donald Trump has addressed recent speculation that he might consider pardoning music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs if convicted in his ongoing legal case. His comments follow a wave of rumors and unconfirmed reports.
Trump responded to the topic in a brief remark, saying:
“Nobody’s asked. But I know people are thinking about it. I think people have been very close to asking… I haven’t been watching it too closely… I would certainly look at the facts.”
The statement was shared by The Washington Post’s Matt Viser and picked up by Complex Music on Instagram. Trump did not confirm any contact with Diddy’s team or any official requests.
Background on the Speculation
- Reports claimed that Diddy’s associates had reached out to Trump’s team, though this remains unconfirmed.
- Suge Knight, currently incarcerated, also speculated in interviews that Diddy might receive a presidential pardon or attempt to influence his trial.
- At this time, no verified connection between Diddy’s legal team and Donald Trump has been established.
Diddy’s Legal Situation
Sean Combs is facing multiple serious charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. These accusations are still under investigation and being challenged in court.
Recently, a woman referred to as “Mia,” an alleged former assistant, testified against him, claiming abuse and control during her time working for him.
What’s Next?
Trump’s remarks do not suggest any planned action, only that he would “look at the facts” if officially asked. As of now, no pardon has been requested or granted, and Diddy’s case continues in court.
