Overview
- Trump told the New York Times he received a pardon request from Sean Combs and that he will not grant clemency.
- The Sun’s anonymously sourced account alleges Tyson was handed the letter by a Combs confidant and delivered it during a White House visit in late 2025.
- Neither Tyson’s camp nor Combs’ representatives have confirmed the reported handoff, and the allegation remains unverified.
- Combs’ lead attorney, Marc Agnifilo, said he has not spoken to the president or anyone close to him and was not part of any effort to seek a pardon.
- Combs is serving a roughly 50‑month federal sentence at FCI Fort Dix after convictions on prostitution‑related charges, with an expedited appeal pending.
