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.

President Donald Trump said Friday he may find it “difficult” to pardon Sean “Diddy” Combs, but not because he thinks the disgraced music mogul did anything criminal. In an interview with Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty, Trump said he was formerly “very friendly” with Combs, but their relationship took a turn after Trump’s 2016 presidential run.
