Donald Trump initially considered pardoning Sean "Diddy" Combs, who was found guilty of lesser charges in a sex-trafficking trial. However, Trump later stated he's unlikely to grant a pardon, much to the delight of 50 Cent. Trump's consideration stemmed partly from a desire to antagonize the family of former FBI Director James Comey and the Southern District of New York. While Trump expressed some sympathy for Combs, concerns from figures like Megyn Kelly and the potential backlash from young female voters influenced his decision. Combs remains in custody, facing a potential 20-year sentence.
