Asked if he would consider pardoning Sean “Diddy” Combs, if convicted, as the hip-hop mogul stands trial in Manhattan federal court, President Donald Trump said, “Nobody’s asked, but I know people are thinking about it.”
“I don’t know. I would certainly look at the facts,” Trump said. “If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me, it wouldn’t have any impact on me.”
Trump said he believes “some people have been very close to asking” about a pardon.
“First of all, I look at what’s happening, and I haven’t been watching it too closely, although it’s certainly getting a lot of coverage,” he said.
Trump added that he hasn’t spoken to Combs in years.
Combs has been accused of sex trafficking by force, transportation to engage in prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy. He has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges.
