In an interview with Andy Cohen, former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson revealed that he delivered a letter from Sean "Diddy" Combs to then-President Trump at some point during his presidency. When asked by Cohen if he had indeed given the letter to Trump, Tyson confirmed, “I did what he told me to do,” though he didn’t provide more details about the contents of the letter or its outcome. Sources close to Tyson previously informed The US Sun that Diddy's inner circle had requested Tyson to personally deliver a pardon request letter to Trump when Tyson visited the White House.

Story summary
In January, Mike Tyson, during an interview with Andy Cohen on SiriusXM's "Andy Cohen Live," revealed that he delivered a letter to then-President Donald Trump from hip-hop producer Sean "Diddy" Combs. Tyson stated that he spoke with Diddy once over the phone and was asked to give the president a letter, which he did as requested.
