Donald Trump has not yet decided on pardoning Sean Combs, noting Combs' past hostility during his campaign influences his judgment. Combs was convicted on two counts related to sex crimes, although he was acquitted of more severe charges. Trump described Combs as seeming like a nice guy and mentioned being friendly prior to the hostility. Reports suggest Combs' team believes they can appeal to Trump by drawing parallels between their experiences with federal prosecutors. Combs' sentencing is scheduled for October 3rd.
Donald Trump remarked on Sean Combs' conviction, stating, "he was essentially, I guess, sort of half innocent. [He's] still in jail or something, but he was celebrating a victory. But I guess it wasn't as good of a victory."
Trump reflected on Combs' past hostility during his campaign, saying, "But when I ran for office, he was very hostile - and it's hard. We don't like to have things cloud our judgment, right? So I don't know. It's more difficult."
