A lawyer for Sean “Diddy” Combs confirmed the recently convicted rapper has been in touch with the White House about a potential pardon. But Combs’ appeal for clemency could go nowhere after President Trump,

The dozens of plaintiffs who have filed civil suits against Sean “Diddy” Combs, many of which accuse him of sexual assault and sex trafficking, may be helped by his criminal convictions, even though he was acquitted on more serious crimes by a Manhattan jury Wednesday.
