Former President Donald Trump addressed growing speculation about a potential pardon for music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, stating in a recent video interview that it’s “more difficult to do” due to Combs having been “very hostile” toward him.
Speaking candidly, Trump acknowledged he had not been following Combs’s legal case closely but indicated he had heard about the situation.
“He was very hostile to me,” Trump said, adding, “It makes it much more difficult to do.”

His remarks come amid reports that Combs, convicted in July under the Mann Act, faces sentencing later this year.
While some sources had suggested Trump might consider clemency, the former president’s comments suggest personal history may factor into any decision.
No formal pardon request has been submitted, and the White House has not issued a statement on the matter.
