Disgraced music mogul Sean Diddy Combs remains hopeful he will find a way to dodge a lengthy prison sentence. He is allegedly making moves to offer a $50 million bail, and strict terms to serve any time he may be sentenced in October in the comfort of his own home. However, in case that fails to fly, he hopes that his pal President Donald Trump may finally come through with the pardon he is reportedly considering.
Either way, Sean Diddy Combs has high hopes of ditching his jail cell for an upgraded living arrangement weeks ahead of his October 3 sentencing. Recent reports from Radar Online reveal that President Donald Trump is “seriously considering” a pardon for Combs. Sources say the idea has gone from loose chatter to something much more real, not to mention way more controversial.
Diddy is leaving nothing to chance. The rapper’s defense attorneys recently dropped a motion asking for his release. Combs’ legal team is proposing a $50 million bond and strict travel conditions. This comes just weeks after the 55-year-old was acquitted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
Even so, Diddy faces two years in prison on two counts related to transporting individuals for prostitution. That is, unless his bail deal comes through, or Trump jumps in to save the day, issuing another celebrity pardon.
Sean Diddy Combs Desperate For Donald Trump’s Help
Even though President Trump claims he hasn’t spoken to Diddy in years, the idea of a pardon is not off the table. As previously reported, last spring, Combs allegedly planned on calling in a huge favor from his pal Donald Trump if things went south during his trial.
However, according to President Donald Trump, no one’s directly asked him for a pardon yet.“I know they’re thinking about it. I think some people have been very close to asking,” he added. “First of all, I’d look at what’s happening. And I haven’t been watching it too closely, although it’s certainly getting a lot of coverage,” he continued.
Trump added that if he felt someone was treated unfairly, he’d consider stepping in, regardless of personal history. That said, he didn’t exactly sound thrilled about their current relationship.
Currently, nothing is set in stone, at least not that the public knows of yet. But, President Trump’s possible pardon of Sean “Diddy” Combs is already fueling headlines and raising a lot of backlash. With Sean Diddy Combs’ sentencing just around the corner and political stakes higher than ever, Trump’s next move could shake up both the courtroom and the campaign trail.
One thing’s for sure. It has everyone closely watching to see what comes next. Regardless of how this plays out, there will be plenty of angry people coming for both Diddy and Trump.
