President Donald Trump Reportedly Is Considering a Pardon for Sean 'Diddy' Combs

NEW YORK CITY, JUL 30 – Trump weighs a full pardon for Sean Combs after a partial conviction on sex-trafficking charges; sentencing is set for October 3 with up to three years prison possible.

  • A recent report says President Trump is ‘seriously considering’ a pardon for rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, according to sources close to the administration.
  • Insiders say advisers escalated the pardon push after it started as casual Oval Office banter two months ago, with Combs' partial conviction earlier this month fueling the effort.
  • Up to three years in federal prison looms for Combs, who is scheduled to be sentenced on October 3, 2025, by U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian.
  • Declining to confirm any pardon, White House officials said, `The White House will not comment on the existence or nonexistence of any clemency request` and Combs’ defense team had `no comment`.
  • Having secured a second term, the US Constitution grants President Donald Trump the power to issue pardons, and he has already pardoned almost 1,600 individuals since taking office.
