Reports were rife of an impending Sean “Diddy” Combs pardon from Donald Trump. Now, one of Diddy’s lead attorneys, Nicole Westmoreland, has confirmed that they’ve indeed taken the first step by reaching out to the president — but things are more complicated than they seem.
CNN spoke to Westmoreland in a wide-ranging conversation that touched on their legal strategy for the RICO case and the current status of the pardon attempt. According to CNN, earlier reports suggesting Trump was seriously considering a pardon for the embattled Bad Boy founder were premature. A lot more convincing will be needed before the president signs off on anything.
