<p>President Trump declined to rule out a pardon for disgraced rapper Sean &#8220;Diddy&#8221; Combs if the hip-hop mogul is convicted on federal sex trafficking charges.</p>
<p>Trump made the remarks during an Oval Office press conference alongside Elon Musk on Friday, &#8220;Nobody&#8217;s asked. But I know people are thinking about it. I know they&#8217;re thinking about it. I think some people have been very close to asking,&#8221; the president said in response to Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy.</p>
<p>Trump said he hasn&#8217;t been following the case closely, but was aware of the extensive media coverage the trial was receiving.</p>
<p>Combs, 55, has been <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/diddy-tells-judge-hes-nervous-as-sex-trafficking-trial-begins-in-nyc?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Diddy+Tells+Judge+He%E2%80%99s+%E2%80%98Nervous%E2%80%99+As+Sex+Trafficking+Trial+Begins+In+NYC">held</a> without bail since his September arrest on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges in Manhattan. Combs&#8217; trial began in early May, and if convicted, the Bad Boy Records founder faces life in prison.</p>
<p>The president acknowledged his former ties to the embattled music mogul, but added that he hasn&#8217;t seen or spoken to Combs in years.</p>
<p>“I haven’t seen him, I haven’t spoken to him in years,” Trump said. “He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics … that relationship busted up, from what I read. I don’t know — he didn’t tell me that, but I’d read some little bit nasty statements.”</p>
<p>Trump emphasized that any pardon decision would be based solely on the merits of the case.</p>
<p>&#8220;I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don&#8217;t like me, it wouldn&#8217;t have any impact on me,&#8221; he stated.</p>

<p>Since reclaiming the presidency in January, Trump has issued an unusually high number of pardons and commutations, often citing his own convictions as evidence of what he describes as a politicized justice system.</p>
<p>Trump <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/05/30/us-news/trump-doesnt-rule-out-pardon-for-diddy-if-convicted-of-sex-trafficking/">issued</a> 17 pardons and nine commutations on Wednesday alone, according to the New York Post.</p>

<p>Prosecutors allege the music mogul used his fame and power to orchestrate what they call &#8220;freak offs&#8221; &#8212; sexual performances involving paid sex workers that were reportedly recorded without consent.</p>

<p>Diddy has pleaded not guilty on all charges.</p>
