President\u00a0Donald Trump\u00a0is reportedly considering a pardon of\u00a0Sean \u201cDiddy\u201d Combs\u00a0after he was found guilty of prostitution charges earlier this month.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A jury found Combs\u00a0guilty on two counts\u00a0of transportation to engage in prostitution. More importantly, he was found not guilty of the most serious charges of racketeering, conspiracy, and sex trafficking. Due to the fact that he likely avoided a lengthy prison sentence, the verdict was considered a\u00a0major win for the defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, Combs\u2019 team reportedly wants the president to do away with those lesser charges, as well. According to a Tuesday report from Deadline<\/em><\/a>, sources from within the administration said Trump has given serious thought to pardoning the music mogul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The report continued:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nearly two months after Trump publicly entertained the notion of a Diddy pardon in an Oval Office gaggle, a comprehensive get out of jail card for Combs is being \u201cseriously considered,\u201d an administration source tells Deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, as several associates of the much-accused and currently incarcerated \u201cAll About the Benjamins\u201d performer have been pitching the White House, other insiders confirm the topic has leveled up from \u201cjust another Trump weave to an actionable event\u201d since Combs was found partially guilty in the his NYC sex-trafficking trial earlier this month. Of course, as a number of parties attest, this being the roller coaster of Trumpworld, any decision on a Combs pardon is in flux until POTUS actually puts his signature on paper.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n As the report stated, the idea of Trump pardoning Combs is not a new one. Back in May, fellow music executive\u00a0Suge Knight\u00a0predicted<\/a>\u00a0that the president would lend Combs a hand in the event that he was convicted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
