Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lead attorney has disputed his legal team’s claims that they have approached the Trump administration about a potential pardon.

The Bad Boy Records founder was found guilty of two counts of prostitution last month, but acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges — and has since been repeatedly denied bail.

Combs’ legal posse confirmed that they had reached out to President Trump’s camp about a pardon — even as the commander in chief has signaled he’s leaning against letting Combs off the hook.

Just days after the claim, Marc Agnifilo refuted lawyer Nicole Westmoreland’s comments, insisting he knows nothing of the pardon request.

“I have nothing to do with a possible pardon,” the legal honcho told CBS Mornings.

“I have had conversations with nobody. I have not spoken to the president. I have not spoken to anybody who speaks to the president about Sean Combs. I have not.”

What’s more, Agnifilo further asserted that he has not discussed a presidential pardon with the “I’ll Be Missing You” rapper, except for telling him it was in the news.

“He says, ‘Go tell him [Trump] that I need a pardon. Go tell him I deserve a pardon.’ That’s what he said,” he added.

Agnifilo’s comments directly contradict Westmoreland, who told CNN this week that the team has “reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon.”

President Trump told Newsmax host Rob Finnerty last week that he was on the fence about whether he would consider pardoning the music mogul.

“Well, he was essentially, I guess, sort of half innocent,” Trump said of the Diddy case.

“Probably – eh, you know, I was very friendly with him. I got along with him great, and seemed like a nice guy. I didn’t know him well, but when I ran for office he was very hostile.”

“It’s hard, you know, like, we’re human beings, and we don’t like to have things cloud our judgment, right? But when you knew someone and you were fine, and then you run for office, and he made some terrible statements – so, I don’t know, it’s more difficult,” Trump continued. “They have talked to me about Sean.”

When Finnerty asked if Trump was “more likely a ‘no’ for Combs,” the president responded, “I would say so.” 

Elsewhere, Agnifilo teased the rapper’s return to the music scene — revealing that Combs is organizing a comeback concert at Madison Square Garden when he’s a free man.
