President Donald Trump has been reported to be considering a presidential pardon for rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs following the latter's recent conviction. However, in interviews, Trump expressed reservations about granting the pardon, citing a complicated history with Combs, including a shift from friendliness to hostility during Trump's presidential campaign. Trump described Combs as 'half-innocent' but indicated that the hostility made forgiveness difficult. Meanwhile, prosecutors have sought a substantial prison term for Combs and opposed bail. Combs’ legal team requested his release on bail ahead of his October 3 sentencing, supported by a letter from Virginia Huynh, an ex-girlfriend who was also identified as “Victim 3” in the case. Huynh described Combs as a father, businessman, and someone who has worked to change, urging the judge to grant bail. Despite these efforts, a federal judge denied Combs’ bail request, stating that he failed to demonstrate entitlement to release and that no exceptional circumstances justified bail. Combs was found not guilty of the most serious sex crimes charges he faced but remains in custody pending sentencing. His bail request included a $50 million bond, which was also denied.
