President Trump told The New York Times in an interview that he was not considering pardoning the music mogul.

The music mogul Sean Combs wrote a letter to President Trump seeking a pardon, the president told The New York Times in an interview on Wednesday. Mr. Trump said he is not considering granting the request.

Mr. Trump also indicated that he had no intention of pardoning several other high-profile people, when presented by a Times reporter with names of some prominent inmates.

Those include Nicolás Maduro, the ousted leader of Venezuela who is facing charges for narco-terrorism and conspiring to import cocaine; Robert Menendez, the former senator from New Jersey who was found guilty in 2024 of trading his political influence for gold, cash and a Mercedes-Benz convertible; and Sam Bankman-Fried, the cryptocurrency entrepreneur who was convicted in 2023 of stealing billions of dollars from customers.
