Donald Trump is reportedly considering pardon for P Diddy

Hardly anybody surprised

According to CBS, Trump is thinking about showing clemency to “Diddy” in a fresh update on the former rapper's case.

As per sources close to the broadcaster, Donald Trump was scheduled to meet on Friday, July 3, to consider various pardons “based on recommendations from advisors”.

While Diddy isn’t expected to be on the list from the pardons team, Trump is privately considering pardoning the former rapper, CBS claimed.

Reportedly, the record producer’s team has denied any communication regarding a potential pardon.

Combs, 56, last year was sentenced to 50 months in prison after being found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution at trial.

Recently he had his release from jail changed for the third time in four months.

The 56-year-old disgraced music mogul's prison release date was pushed up, and he is now scheduled to finish his sentence almost two months earlier than expected.

Combs is set to be released on February 23, 2028, after he was previously scheduled to finish on April 15, 2028, according to Federal Bureau of Prisons records.

He has been imprisoned since his September 2024 arrest and was originally set to be freed on May 8, 2028, before the date was pushed back to June 4 in December, moved up to April 25, and then pushed to April 15 in March.

‘Diddy’ is currently serving his 50-month sentence in prison

The former rapper is serving his 50-month prison sentence at the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution, a low-security facility in New Jersey.

Prior to his sentencing, Combs had already spent about a year in custody at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center after being denied bail.

He was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution following a high-profile federal trial in New York City, last summer.

Combs was acquitted of more serious charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy, which could have resulted in a life sentence.

In October 2025, he was sentenced to 50 months (just over 4 years) in prison, fined $500,000, and ordered 5 years of supervised release upon his release.

Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York had sought a sentence of more than a decade.

The former record executive was accused of leading a criminal enterprise that “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct”, the indictment said.

The 56-year-old pleaded not guilty and has denied all of the allegations against him.

Combs' team announced earlier this year that he had been accepted into a drug rehabilitation program.

“Mr. Combs is an active participant in the Residential Drug Abuse Program and has taken his rehabilitation process seriously from the start,” a rep for the rapper told Page Six in April.
