President Trump is poised to pardon a slate of people convicted of emissions and clean air-related violations, and is still discussing other potential acts of clemency, including for Sean "Diddy" Combs or several other well-known figures, according to sources familiar with his plans.

The president was scheduled to have a meeting Friday afternoon on the topic of pardons and planned to decide based on recommendations from advisers, two of the sources said.

The pollution pardons sound like a great idea. I'm probably more pro-Diddy pardon than most freepers, so I'll be interested to see what Trump decides.

Nothing good can come from pardoning Diddy

Nothing at all

If you’re gonna pardon a bunch of celebrity convicts, allow for your consideration, Elizabeth Holmes.

They’ll pack the Supreme Court. Then they’ll rule Trump’s pardons to be “illegal”. So it won’t matter if Trump preemptively pardons his allies such as Tulsi Gabbard. Especially on her report on Fauci’s role in Covid-19.

President Trump received a letter from “Diddy” asking for a pardon and Trump said he would look at the facts. He told the NYT during a interview that he was not inclined to pardon him.

Diddy is not on the July 2026 list for a pardon.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is in prison after being convicted of two counts of violating the Mann Act, which criminalizes the transportation of individuals across state lines for prostitution.

He was sentenced in October 2025 to 50 months (just over four years) behind bars, along with five years of supervised release and a $500,000 fine.

The charges stemmed from extensive evidence and testimony that he used his power and resources to fly girlfriends and male escorts across the country to participate in forced, drug-fueled sexual encounters.

Although prosecutors also charged Combs with racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking—which carried potential life sentences—a jury acquitted him of those more serious charges.

He is currently serving his sentence at the FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey, where he is appealing the conviction.

You support a woman beater recorded on video? Abusers don’t just stop with one.

Thanks Liz. Combs is no better than Epstein when it comes to abusing people.

Trump is going for the trafficking abuser rapper vote.

...They’ll pack the Supreme Court...

I say we shrink the court by two judges. The least senior ones removed first. (That would be Ketanji Brown Jackson and Amy Coney Barrett)

We’ll have to be vigilant. Fortunately, it looks like that the Hispanics are not fans of the pivot by the Democratic Party to Communism so I’ll expect that the GOP will win big in November.

Agree 100%. I wonder if he’s letting family & friends back into the WH. Feels like a Kardashian, Kanya West ask or Ivanka.
