Sources: Trump likely to pardon pollution violators; weighing clemency for Diddy

President Trump is reportedly considering pardoning individuals convicted of Clean Air Act violations and is reviewing potential clemencies for high-profile figures like Sean 'Diddy' Combs and Pras Michel of The Fugees. According to sources, Trump is set to make decisions based on adviser recommendations, though Combs and Michel are not expected to be on the initial list. Combs is serving a four-year sentence for transporting others to engage in prostitution, while Michel faces charges related to foreign lobbying efforts linked to Malaysia’s 1MDB scandal. Trump previously stated he was not considering Combs’ pardon request but has not yet decided on Michel or Malaysian financier Jho Low, who is also seeking clemency. Trump’s past pardons, such as that of Wyoming mechanic Troy Lake, highlight a pattern of focusing on environmental law violations, often facilitated by political consultants.
