    I might give him a pardon- Trump says about Diddy

    Published on

    U.S. President Donald Trump is ‘seriously considering’ a pardon for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs as the rap mogul awaits his sentencing in a Brooklyn jail.

    As the judge prepares his punishment over prostitution charges after he was acquitted on three of his most serious charges, a source told Deadline that Trump has been mulling the reprieve. Insiders say that the idea had advanced from ‘just another Trump weave to an actionable event.’

    The 55-year-old mogul was found not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering earlier this month, but was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.  Combs is set to receive his sentencing on October 3 and faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

    A presidential pardon has been talked of since the beginning of Combs’ trial, and Trump even indicated in May that he was open to the idea.
