Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ pardon letter was allegedly handed to Donald Trump by Mike Tyson
Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs allegedly recruited Mike Tyson to give President Donald Trump a letter requesting a pardon.
Combs is currently in the middle of a four-year sentence at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, but has reportedly found other ways of communicating on the outside.
According to The Sun, the heavyweight boxer handed Trump the letter in November during a visit to the White House.
Someone in Combs’ inner circle allegedly asked him to deliver the letter to Trump by hand.
“Mike had a meeting with one of Diddy’s closest confidantes, and he handed him a letter from Diddy,” a source said. “He asked what the letter was and was told it was Diddy asking for a pardon from Trump.”
The source continued, “Mike admitted he was feeling nervous about it, but agreed to take it to the White House when he visited. Mike said he had handed the letter to Trump and did exactly what Diddy’s lot had asked of him.”
They added that “it wasn’t something he was expecting when he met with them, but Mike did what he was asked.”
The report comes shortly after Trump ruled out a presidential pardon for the rapper, who was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.
Last week, Trump confirmed Combs “asked me for a pardon … through a letter.” Pushed to share more details, he replied, “Oh, would you like to see that letter?”
Combs was sentenced in October and is scheduled to be released in 2028 following 50 months behind bars.
