Trump rejects Diddy's pardon request - 50 Cent taunts him as MAGA supporters celebrate denial
In a surprising turn of events, U.S. President Donald Trump has decided not to pardon Sean "Diddy" Combs, despite earlier considering it. The decision comes amidst an ongoing trial related to sex-trafficking allegations, with Combs currently incarcerated in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, facing up to 20 years in prison for prostitution charges.
The trial, which has been ongoing for eight weeks, has been marked by corruption. Combs was found guilty of lesser charges of transportation to engage in prostitution on July 2, but was acquitted on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. The not guilty verdict on the serious charges was a setback for the prosecution team.
Trump's decision not to pardon Combs may be due to a combination of factors. Initially, Trump had expressed some sympathy and mentioned looking into the facts of Combs's case, but later clarified that the situation was complicated. Trump noted that while he was friendly with Combs, the hostility Combs showed towards him during his run for office also influenced his position.
However, Trump's decision was not a simple "no." It suggests there may be ongoing discussions or potential changes. Trump's statement that Combs was "kind of half innocent" is a departure from his earlier stance that Combs was innocent.
The U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York wants Combs to be denied bail and sentenced to several years in prison on October 2. Trump's decision not to pardon Combs may be due to his desire to hurt the family of former FBI Director James Comey and punish the SDNY.
The potential pardon for Combs has sparked a backlash from MAGA media, with Megyn Kelly urging Trump not to do so. On the other hand, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, a long-time friend of Combs, has expressed happiness about Trump's decision not to pardon him. Jackson had promised months ago that he would try to talk Trump out of pardoning Combs.
Trump's statement regarding a potential pardon for Combs has also been linked to his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump has been using distractions, such as discussing a potential pardon for Combs, to divert attention from his relationship with Epstein. Ghislaine Maxwell, who was a trusted associate of Epstein, has been mentioned in relation to a potential pardon for Combs by Trump.

Trump's decision not to pardon Combs may indicate a shift in his approach towards high-profile pardons, especially those involving individuals with questionable backgrounds.
