Can Sean Diddy Combs escape prison in sex trial? Trump's unexpected move might flip US rapper's case
As a verdict looms in disgraced US rapper Sean 'Diddy' Combs' criminal trial and the world edges closer to discovering his fate, one person could pardon him from his potential crimes -i.e. US President Donald Trump. Sean Diddy's five charges range from racketeering to sex trafficking, and he's pleaded not guilty and denied any and all wrongdoing. The jury has decided on four of the charges but remains hung on the racketeering count. If convicted, Diddy faces a possible death sentence. But Donald Trump holds the power to pardon Diddy, who has the authority to clear him as he did for Todd and Julie Chrisley, reports The Irish Star.

On May 30, during a press conference, a journalist asked Donald Trump, "You mentioned once in 2012 that Diddy was a good friend of yours back then. He has since found himself in some very serious legal trouble. Would you ever consider pardoning him?" Trump replied, "Nobody's asked, but I know people are thinking about it," and added, "Some people have been very close to asking."
