Sean Combs faces up to 20 years in prison at his October sentencing after being convicted of prostitution charges.

A source close to the rapper has told Deadline that Trump is "seriously considering freeing Diddy, a full presidential pardon ahead of his sentencing later this year." On the matter, "the White House will not comment on the existence or nonexistence of any clemency request," says an administration official.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team has filed a new motion asking for him to be released on a $50 million bond until his October 3 sentencing. As OK! reported, the rapper was initially denied bail earlier this month when he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but escaped racketeering and s-- trafficking charges.
