President Donald Trump has broken his silence about pardoning "half-innocent" Sean "Diddy" Combs for the first time since his sex-crimes trial verdict.

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.

Donald Trump shared insight into why it’s unlikely he will grant Sean “Diddy” Combs a presidential pardon, one month after the rap mogul was found guilty on two out of five counts in his case.
