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 Combs doesn't deserve a new trial because “there was more than a sufficient basis” to support his conviction, federal prosecutors argued in a new court filing overnight.
