Combs, who was sentenced to four years and two months in prison for prostitution-related crimes in October last year, is reported to have written a letter to Trump asking for clemency.
Trump has previously indicated that the relationship between them deteriorated when Combs criticized him during Trump's first presidential campaign.
"Seemed like a nice guy," Trump said of Combs on Newsmax last year, adding:
I didn't know him well. But when I ran for office, he was very hostile.
