After being sentenced to four years and two months in prison, Sean “Diddy” Combs has officially requested a pardon from President Donald Trump.
Reporters asked Trump in the Oval Office about whether he would consider pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted abettor of Jeffrey Epstein, who was a convicted child predator, after her Supreme Court appeal was denied.
“I’d have to take a look at it,” said Trump, referring to Maxwell, adding that he would speak to the Justice Department.

“I have had a lot of people ask me for pardons,” he continued. “I call him Puff Daddy, he has asked me for a pardon.”
Back in August, Trump revealed to Newsmax that he was not moved to pardon Diddy because of Diddy’s harsh criticisms of him during the 2020 election.
“I was very friendly with him, I got along with him great and he seemed like a nice guy. I didn’t know him well. But when I ran for office, he was very hostile,” he said at the time.
