SEAN ‘Diddy’ Combs’ attorney confirmed they’ve approached the Trump administration about a pardon.
Nicole Westmoreland confirmed the defense team reached out regarding a pardon after Diddy was convicted of two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution last month.

“It’s my understanding that we’ve reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon,” Westmoreland told CNN.
Trump previously suggested a pardon would be unlikely.
In an interview with Newsmax last week, the US President said: “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.”
Westmoreland said Combs “is a very hopeful person, and I believe that he remains hopeful”.
A White House official said declined to comment.
This comes after Combs was denied $50 million bail – for the second time – ahead of his October 3 sentencing on prostitution charges.
Judge Arun Subramanian agreed with federal prosecutors’ decision to keep the disgraced rapper locked up at MDC Brooklyn.
In a court order the US district judge wrote there were no “exceptional reasons” warranting Combs’ release before his sentencing.
The former music mogul reportedly filed a new motion for bail, offering a $50 million bail package in which he pledged to stay at his Miami home and restrict travel to Florida and New York.
His legal team argued there is no binding precedent for keeping him in jail before sentencing – an argument Judge Subramanian rejected.
They also claimed he is likely the only man in America jailed for hiring male sex workers to sleep with his girlfriend.
