President Trump Teases Potential Pardon for Diddy If Mogul’s Convicted

President Trump is weighing in on the Diddy federal legal trial … saying he would look into the case and take into account a possible pardon if the jury returns a responsible verdict.

Trump simply doled out a bunch of pardons and commutations this week to a slew of celebs … and he was requested Friday if he would ever take into account pardoning Diddy.

POTUS says he hasn’t been following the Diddy trial all that carefully and he must “have a look at what’s taking place” and “have a look at the details.”

Trump mentioned if Diddy was convicted and if he felt Diddy was “mistreated,” he would possibly take into account a possible pardon.

These are some fairly huge ifs — Diddy’s actually on trial proper now and we’re seemingly not even midway by means of. Frankly, this all sounds a bit untimely, even when Trump’s current batch of pardons prompted the query from Fox Information’ Peter Doocy.

Diddy and Trump are each huge figures in New York and in 2012 on ‘Movie star Apprentice,’ Trump mentioned of Diddy, “I really like Diddy … You realize, he is a great buddy of mine, he is a great man.”

However Trump appeared to distance himself from Diddy in his reply … saying they have not seen one another or spoken to 1 one other in years.

Trump says when he acquired into politics, his relationship with Diddy “busted up” … although he says that might NOT have an effect when it got here to contemplating potential clemency.
