Trump Addresses Speculation About Granting Pardon to Diddy
In a recent interview on Newsmax, former President Donald Trump was asked about the possibility of pardoning rap mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, who was found guilty on two federal charges of transportation for purposes of prostitution. Trump, known for his unpredictable nature, gave a somewhat ambiguous response.
Before running for office, Trump and Diddy had a friendly rapport. However, Trump claimed that Diddy made terrible statements towards him after he became a presidential candidate. Despite this, Trump stated that Diddy was "essentially, sort of, half-innocent."
Trump's statement about the pardon possibility does not guarantee that Diddy won't be pardoned. The White House has reportedly been in talks with Diddy's legal team about a possible pardon, but the outcome remains uncertain.
Trump also mentioned that he didn't know why Diddy is still in jail, implying that he might have expected Diddy to be released by now. However, he replied that the pardon possibility for Diddy is "more likely a no."
The specifics of Trump's response regarding a potential Diddy pardon are not provided in the interview. Diddy faces up to 20 years in prison following his sentencing on Oct. 3. Rumors about a potential pardon for Diddy from President Trump have been circulating recently, but the final decision is yet to be seen.
