Which celebrities could be affected?

Online critics have speculated the list might include Sean "Diddy" Combs and Ghislaine Maxwell. Combs confirmed he asked the president for a pardon after his July 2025 conviction on two federal counts of transportation to engage in prostitution; Trump acknowledged receiving a letter and has called him "Puff Daddy." Maxwell has reportedly sought a full pardon and remains a lightning rod for controversy.

Pushback and pressure behind the scenes

Attorneys and lobbyists say requests have flooded in as the idea circulated. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt emphasized a rigorous review process involving the Justice Department and White House counsel before any presidential decision. Meanwhile, sources and a new book say some close aides have warned Trump against pardoning Maxwell.
