Donald Trump is reportedly considering letting Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs enjoy the perks of a presidential pardon as the music mogul waits for his October sentencing. Diddy was found guilty earlier this month on two lesser charges, including transporting someone for prostitution, but dodged the bigger ones tied to sex trafficking and racketeering. If the pardon happens, it could wipe the slate clean, letting Diddy walk free.Trump mulls granting Diddy a presidential pardonBack in April, a few insiders from Diddy’s legal team hinted at exploring a presidential pardon, pointing to his old ties with Trump. Then in May, Trump weighed in, saying no one had approached him yet, but added he’d be open to looking into it if he felt Diddy had been treated unfairly. Now, an administration insider tells Deadline that the topic inside the White House has picked up. A few people close to Diddy have been quietly pushing for the pardon, even though his lawyers haven’t officially stepped in. The idea is now being ‘seriously considered’ in the Oval Office. That said, the White House hasn’t issued any official statement. And as always with Trump, nothing’s real until he signs it.Also read: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs found guilty in sex trial, but cleared of trafficking and racketeering chargesDiddy’s lawyers push again for $50M bail dealEven when the Bad Boy producer managed to dodge the biggest charge, he wasn’t granted bail, despite his lawyers pushing for house arrest. Diddy’s been behind bars at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre since his September 2024 arrest, having tried and failed multiple times to get out on a $50 million bond. His final sentencing is set for October 3, and he’s staring at a minimum 20-year prison threat. Sean Combs’ lawyers, Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, told the judge his case is unlike anything ever tried under the Mann Act. According to court papers accessed by Deadline, the team is once again offering a “$50 million bond secured by Mr. Combs’ home in Miami,” along with tight travel and contact restrictions.Also read: Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs seeks release on $50-million bond ahead of sentencingThe eight-week trial saw several ex-girlfriends, staffers, and even a pregnant Cassie Ventura testifying about drug-laced, violent sex parties. Still, due to a lack of solid evidence, the jury found him guilty on just two lesser charges. He walked free on the more serious ones, a big setback to the prosecution led by Maurene Comey (daughter of James Comey). She was sacked soon after the verdict by the Trump-led administration. Diddy’s lawyers now argue the charges don’t justify prison time, calling the case an unfair attack on a swinger lifestyle under an outdated law from 1910. They’ve also claimed he’s being punished for hiring adult male escorts, even though, by their account, he never actually slept with them.On the other hand, Trump is also facing heat from his own MAGA base for not pushing the Justice Department harder on releasing Epstein files. The pressure has surged after a Wall Street Journal report linked Trump’s name to those documents. In response, Trump is now suing Rupert Murdoch for $10 billion.Click here to follow Screen Digital on YouTube and stay updated with the latest from the world of cinema.© IE Online Media Services Pvt LtdTags:Diddydonald trump
