Donald Trump Gives Shock Response
Donald Trump recently gave a surprising response regarding whether he would pardon rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently on trial in New York for charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and prostitution-related crimes. Diddy has pleaded not guilty, and several celebrities like Kanye West, Michael B. Jordan, and Kid Cudi have been mentioned in the trial, though none have been accused of wrongdoing. Testimony from Diddy’s ex, Cassie Ventura, detailed incidents of violence and control during their 10-year relationship, as well as shocking photos shown to the jury. Britney Spears was also mentioned, as Ventura claimed Diddy brought Spears to her 21st birthday party.
As Trump was pressed on whether he would pardon Diddy, he acknowledged their past friendship but said he hasn’t kept up with the trial and hasn’t spoken to Diddy in years. Trump emphasized that politics changed his relationships and added that he would only consider a pardon if he believed someone was treated unfairly, regardless of whether they liked him or not.
