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 contemplate 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 contemplate pardoning Diddy.

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

Trump stated if Diddy was convicted and if he felt Diddy was “mistreated,” he would possibly contemplate a possible pardon.

These are some fairly large ifs — Diddy’s actually on trial proper now and we’re probably not even midway by way 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 large figures in New York and in 2012 on ‘Celeb Apprentice,’ Trump stated of Diddy, “I like Diddy … You already know, he’s a very good pal of mine, he’s a very good man.”

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

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