Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who’s to be sentenced in October for his conviction on prostitution-related expenses, is in search of a pardon from President Donald Trump, one among his attorneys stated Tuesday.
“It’s my understanding that we’ve reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon,” Nicole Westmoreland advised CNN in an interview.
Trump has indicated, nevertheless, that he’s unlikely to grant a pardon to the 55-year-old Combs.
“I was very friendly with him. I got along with him great and he seemed like a nice guy,” Trump stated in an interview on Friday with Newsmax. “I didn’t know him well, but when I ran for office, he was very hostile.”
Asked if that meant he was not inclined to pardon Combs, Trump stated: “I would say so, yeah.”
A New York jury discovered Combs responsible final month of two counts of transportation to have interaction in prostitution, every of which carries a most sentence of 10 years in jail.
He was acquitted of racketeering and intercourse trafficking expenses after a marathon trial wherein he was accused of harrowing abuse.
Sentencing has been set for October 3.
