Trump has said Combs’ “hostility” toward him during the 2024 election makes pardoning the rapper “more difficult to do.”

Nicole Westmoreland, a member of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ all-star defense team, told CNN in an exclusive interview on Tuesday that the music mogul’s team has reached out to the Trump administration about a potential pardon following his conviction on two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution last month.

NBC News, citing sources, reports Tuesday night that Sean Combs, known as “Diddy,” has reached out to President Donald Trump for a pardon. The rap mogul has been behind bars since his September arrest. He faced federal charges of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fueled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them.
