BREAKING: Trump Responds to Whether He’d Pardon Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Amid Legal Trouble

In a recent interview, former President Donald Trump was asked directly whether he would consider pardoning music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently facing serious legal scrutiny. The unexpected question prompted a measured yet revealing response from the GOP frontrunner.

“Nobody’s asked,” Trump said with a smile. “But I know people are thinking about it. I think people have been very close to asking.”

Trump acknowledged that he hasn’t followed Combs’ legal situation closely, despite its widespread media coverage. “I haven’t seen him, I haven’t spoken to him in years,” he said. “He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics, that relationship kind of busted up.”

While Trump noted he had read “a little bit nasty statements” from Combs in the press, he made it clear that personal feelings wouldn’t influence any decision regarding a potential pardon.

“If I think somebody was mistreated—whether they like me or don’t like me—it wouldn’t have any impact on me,” Trump stated.

The former president emphasized that his focus remains on what’s best for the country, not popularity. “It’s not a popularity contest,” he said. “You become a much different person when you run for politics and you do what’s right.”

Combs, a once-close associate of Trump’s during his Apprentice era, has recently been at the center of multiple legal investigations, although no federal charges have been officially confirmed. The question of a pardon remains hypothetical for now—but Trump’s comments suggest he’s open to the possibility, depending on the facts.

As the legal drama surrounding Combs unfolds, Trump’s response leaves the door open — but cautiously so.
