Sean “Diddy” Combs ’ defense team has reached out to President Donald Trump seeking a pardon after his conviction on prostitution-related offenses, a source close to the legal team told NBC News on Tuesday. Asked about pardons in an interview with Newsmax on Friday, Trump said “they have talked to me about Sean” but did not announce any decision.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lead attorney has disputed his legal team’s claims that they have approached the Trump administration about a potential pardon. The Bad Boy Records founder was found guilty of two counts of prostitution last month, but acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges — and has since been repeatedly denied bail.
