In a surprising twist at the federal criminal trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs, prosecutors have announced they are dropping several major charges just one day before closing arguments are set to begin.
In a 2012 episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, Trump called Diddy “a good friend” and said, “I love Diddy.” In 2015, Diddy told the Washington Post that “Donald Trump is a friend of mine, and he works very hard.” When asked on May 30, 2025, if he would consider pardoning Diddy, Trump said that no one had formally asked, but he acknowledged that “people are thinking about it.” Former Death Row Records CEO Suge Knight has suggested that Diddy will be pardoned by Trump if convicted.
