As Sean Combs (long known by his rapper moniker, Diddy) remains in prison, he and his legal team have been taking steps to have his sentence overturned. Due to an expedited appeal process, Combs’ team have already had their oral arguments heard by a three-judge panel, and they’re waiting for a decision. Before all that, Combs (56) and co. hoped he’d be pardoned by U.S. President Donald Trump, but that didn’t pan out. Now, however, insiders are dropping claims about why Diddy’s still optimistic about getting clemency from POTUS.
