Diddy’s lawyer suggests Trump pardon could shift music mogul’s political stance

One of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal advisors believes a presidential pardon from Donald Trump could influence the music mogul’s political alignment.

Mark Geragos, father of Diddy’s defense lawyer Teny Geragos and a consultant on the case, made the claim during an episode of his 2 Angry Men podcast.

When asked if Combs might become a Trump supporter if granted clemency, Geragos responded, “I think yes,” adding that it would not necessarily be a “fealty oath” but rather a shift in perspective. He suggested that shared experiences with federal charges could create an “affinity” between the two men, both of whom have faced intense public scrutiny over their legal battles.

“There’s something about that fraternity of people who have been accused and have gone through the process,” Geragos said, noting it could lead Combs to acknowledge Trump’s own legal challenges.

This discussion follows Trump’s recent comments on a potential pardon for Combs. Earlier this month, the former president acknowledged past tensions between them, referencing Diddy’s criticism during election campaigns. “It’s hard… we’re human beings,” Trump remarked, suggesting such history could complicate his decision.

Combs is currently in custody, awaiting an October sentencing after being convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of more severe racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges. The Bad Boy Records founder’s legal situation continues to draw national attention as speculation over his political stance grows.
