Boxing legend Mike Tyson said he hand-delivered a letter from Sean Combs to President Trump at Combs' request.
Boxing legend Mike Tyson revealed in a recent radio interview that he hand-delivered a letter from Sean 'Diddy' Combs to President Trump. Speaking on SiriusXM's 'Andy Cohen Live', Tyson said Combs, serving a sentence at Fort Dix federal prison in New Jersey on sex-crimes charges, asked him to carry the message to the president. When host Andy Cohen asked if Tyson had actually given the letter to Trump, Tyson replied: 'I did what he told me to do.'
Tyson said he had spoken with Combs once by phone while Combs was in prison. Sources previously told outlets that Tyson was nervous about the task but agreed to deliver it when he visited the White House. According to the Daily Mail, Tyson expressed surprise at the extent of prosecution against Combs, noting that prosecutors 'used a 110-year-old rule to get him'.
In January, President Trump confirmed he had received a letter from Combs requesting a pardon but said he would not grant it. Trump did not initially disclose how he received the letter, though Tyson's account now provides that detail.
