A lawyer for Sean “Diddy” Combs confirmed the recently convicted rapper has been in touch with the White House about a potential pardon. But Combs’ appeal for clemency could fall on deaf ears after Donald Trump complained about the “terrible” things his former friend has said about him.

The dozens of plaintiffs who have filed civil suits against Sean “Diddy” Combs, many of which accuse him of sexual assault and sex trafficking, may be helped by his criminal convictions, even though he was acquitted on more serious crimes by a Manhattan jury Wednesday.

Combs lawyer told CNN on Tuesday that the team had approached Trump about potential pardon. The post Diddy Appeals to Trump for Pardon Ahead of Sentencing as He’s Denied Bail first appeared on Mediaite.
