Trump Says Potential Diddy Pardon Is 'Difficult' Because Of His Past Criticism Of The President

The disgraced music mogul is awaiting sentencing after being convicted on prostitution charges.
President Donald Trump said Friday he may find it “difficult” to pardon Sean “Diddy” Combs, but not because he thinks the disgraced music mogul did anything criminal.
In an interview with Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty, Trump said he was formerly “very friendly” with Combs, but their relationship took a turn after Trump’s 2016 presidential run.
“When I ran for office, he was very hostile,” Trump said of Combs, who was found guilty on two out of five charges in his sex trafficking trial earlier this year. “And it’s hard, you know? I’m like you, we’re human beings. And we don’t like to have things cloud our judgment, right? But when you knew someone and you were fine, and then you run for office, and he made some terrible statements.”
“So I don’t know, it’s more difficult,” Trump continued. “I’m being honest, it makes it more difficult to do.”
Trump also described Combs as “essentially sort of half-innocent,” an apparent reference to the split verdict.
