US EditionAttorney for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs confirms they’ve approached Trump administration about pardon
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, AUG 5 – Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces up to 20 years after conviction on lesser charges; legal team seeks presidential pardon to reduce prison time before October sentencing.
- In a CNN interview Tuesday, defense attorney Nicole Westmoreland confirmed they have reached out to the Trump administration about a pardon for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
- Last month, a jury convicted Combs on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted him of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
- He now faces a maximum 20-year sentence under the transportation charges, and defense attorney Mark Geragos floated the idea of a pardon as `great` for Trump.
- He is due back in federal court on October 3 for sentencing, with Judge Arun Subramanian ordering him held at MDC Brooklyn, finding no `exceptional reasons` for release.
- Trump said during a Newsmax interview last week he was 'very friendly with him' and 'got along with him great,' while his legal team noted discussions for a pardon have been 'seriously considered.
