In August, a member of Combs’ legal team had revealed to CNN that the music mogul’s camp had reached out to the Trump administration about a potential pardon.
“It’s my understanding that we’ve reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon,” attorney Nicole Westmoreland had said.
Will Trump pardon Combs?
Earlier in an interview with Newsmax, Trump had indicated that he was unlikely to pardon the music mogul.
“I was very friendly with him, I got along with him great and he seemed like a nice guy. I didn’t know him well. But when I ran for office, he was very hostile.”
Trump added at the time that this made pardoning Combs “more difficult to do.”
Meanwhile, on Monday, Combs’ lawyers asked judge Arun Subramanian- who sentenced the music mogul on Friday- to place him at a low security federal correctional facility in Fort Dix, New Jersey, where he can “address drug abuse issues” and “maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts.”
