Trump Weighs In On Possible Sean 'Diddy' Combs Pardon: 'He Used To Really Like Me'
HuffPost
The disgraced music mogul was indicted in September on federal charges, including sex trafficking, and is currently on trial in New York.
President Donald Trump responded Friday to a question about potentially pardoning Sean “Diddy” Combs, who stands indicted on federal charges including sex trafficking.
“I haven’t spoken to him in years,” Trump told Fox News reporter Peter Doocy when asked about pardoning Combs. “He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics, that relationship busted up, from what I read. I don’t know, he didn’t tell me that.”
“But I’d read some … nasty statements in the paper all of a sudden,” he continued.
Combs once ran in the same wealthy social circles as Trump, but was federally indicted in September on one count of racketeering conspiracy, one count of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and one count of transportation to engage in prostitution.
Prosecutors in Manhattan added two charges last month of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation for purposes of prostitution. Surveillance footage released last May showed Combs assaulting his ex-girlfriend, singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura.
