ALBAWABA - Donald Trump is reportedly considering a shocking pardon for Sean “Diddy” Combs after guilty verdict.
US reports cited by Deadline say that Donald Trump is truly considering giving Sean "Diddy" Combs a full presidential pardon. This could change the outcome of the case before he is sentenced.
Reports confirmed that the US President and his lawyers are thinking about giving the owner of Bad Boy Records a presidential pardon, which would let him avoid serving his sentence. The decision is due to be made on October 3. Combs was recently found guilty of charges related to prostitution but found not guilty of more serious charges like sex trafficking and racketeering after an eight-week hearing.
Trump brought up the idea of a pardon in public during an Oval Office meeting about two months ago. Since then, the Mirror reports, plans have been made to look over Combs' court case.
There have been no official comments from the defense team, which is led by lawyers Mark Agnifilo and Teni Gerago. However, people inside the Trump campaign say that this is part of the president's policy to look over cases of "overcriminalization," especially those that are seen as "criminal overreach."
Yesterday, lawyer John Kouvos met with Trump team pardon officials and said in a private statement, "Didi's case is a model consistent with Trump's approach of granting pardons to those he believes have been subjected to legal injustice or excessive criminal proceedings."

It's important to note that Combs has been in jail since September 2024 on a number of very controversial criminal charges, such as plotting and sex trafficking. All bail requests have been turned down because of fears of fleeing or messing with witnesses.
