President Donald Trump is being publicly urged by Megyn Kelly not to consider pardoning Sean Diddy Combs.
Kelly responded to a Deadline article that was published the day before, which quoted anonymous sources suggesting that the troubled music tycoon would receive a presidential pardon, in a post on X on July 30. Kelly argued that Trump shouldn’t pardon Diddy because he doesn’t deserve it.
Diddy shouldn’t be pardoned by Trump. He is not deserving of it. He hates Trump. He mistreats women. Elites appearing to cover for one another has already angered MAGA. This wouldn’t be beneficial. Young female voters are a problem for the GOP, and the majority of them will detest a Diddy pardon.

In an interview with the Oval Office on May 30, President Trump touched on the subject briefly. He said that no one had inquired about a pardon. However, I am aware that some are considering it. I am aware that they are considering it. Some people, I believe, have come very close to asking. “I haven’t spoken to him in years,” Trump continued. He thought I was great.
Trump and Kelly have a lengthy and frequently tense past that goes back more than ten years. National attention was drawn to their well-known disagreement prior to the 2016 election, which Trump ultimately won. But since then, the two have made up. Kelly enthusiastically endorsed his reelection campaign when she made an appearance at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania in November.
Trump’s past connections to Jeffrey Epstein, the late businessman and convicted sex offender who committed suicide in 2019, are still a source of criticism. Conspiracy theories and conjecture about Epstein’s passing and Trump’s relationship to him have persisted.
Nevertheless, the president has a history of pardoning well-known people. Trump awarded pardon to rapper NBA YoungBoy, also known as Kentrell Gaulden, and reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley in May. In 2021, close to the end of his first term, Trump famously pardoned Kodak Black and Little Wayne.
This week, Combs’ legal team redoubled their efforts to get him out of federal detention. On July 29, Combs’ attorneys asked U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian to permit the entrepreneur to await sentencing from his Miami estate instead of staying at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, over a month after he was cleared of the most serious counts in his sex-crimes trial.
As Combs gets ready for his sentencing date in October, they include a proposed $50 million bond and a plan for house confinement in their plea.
