Trump says pardoning ‘half innocent’ Diddy would be ‘difficult’ after past criticism
Trump calls Diddy ‘sort of half‑innocent’ but says pardon unlikely
- Donald Trump says he would find it "difficult" to pardon Sean "Diddy" Combs, despite considering him "half-innocent" after his recent conviction.
- Trump cited Combs' past "hostile" comments about him during his first presidency as the reason for his reluctance, despite the pair’s previous good relationship.
- Combs was found guilty of two counts of transportation for prostitution purposes in July, but was cleared of more serious offences.
- The US president made the remarks during a Newsmax interview on Friday.
