Diddy is currently on trial in New York for sex trafficking and racketeering. While the trial is still in its early stages, President Donald Trump was asked about potentially pardoning the Bad Boy mogul, and Trump admitted it’s something he’d consider.
During an Oval Office briefing on Friday (May 30), Trump was asked about pardoning Diddy by Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy and said he’d “look at the facts” of the case, while adding that his turbulent relationship with Combs wouldn’t impact his decision.
“Nobody’s asked, but I know people are thinking about it,” he said. “I think some people have been really close to asking. First of all, I’d look at what’s happening and I haven’t watched it too closely.”
While Trump and Diddy used to be cool — the president even called him a “good friend” in 2012 when he hosted The Apprentice — things changed when Trump took over the White House.
“I haven’t spoken to him in years,” Trump said. “He used to really like me a lot. I think when I ran for politics, that relationship busted up. … I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me, it wouldn’t have any impact on me.”

Trump made plenty of headlines this week, with a pardon for YoungBoy Never Broke Again and commuting the federal life sentences of former Chicago gang leader Larry Hoover, who has been imprisoned since 1973.
While YoungBoy untangled from his federal cases, Hoover is still on the hook in Illinois for the remainder of a 200-year sentence for the 1973 murder of drug dealer William “Pooky” Young.
