Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs seeking Trump pardon

Nicole Westmoreland, one of the lawyers representing music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, is seeking a pardon from President Donald Trump.

Diddy is set to be sentenced on October 3.

“It’s my understanding that we’ve reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon,” Westmoreland told CNN.

However, it is understood that Trump is is unlikely to grant a pardon to the 55-year-old.

Speaking with Newsmax on Friday, the US president admitted he was “friendly” with Diddy.

But when asked if that doesn’t mean he would necessarily pardon Diddy, Trump replied: “I would say so, yeah.”

Last month, a New York jury found Diddy guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Each count carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
