Trump Reconsidering Diddy Pardon – Latest Update

# Trump‍ on Diddy Pardon: “He Made Some Terrible⁤ Statements”

Donald Trump has weighed in⁢ on⁣ the ⁤possibility of pardoning Sean “Diddy” Combs, stating that the music mogul made “terrible statements” that complicate any potential clemency. The former president’s remarks ⁢come amid ongoing legal scrutiny for Combs.

## A Shifting Relationship: From “Very Pleasant” to Hostile

During a recent interview, Trump recalled ⁤his past relationship with Diddy as “very friendly.” He elaborated, “I got along with him great, and [he] seemed like a nice guy. I didn’t know him⁤ well.” ⁢However, Trump acknowledged that their relationship has since become strained.

“When⁢ I ran for office, he was very hostile,” Trump stated.”It’s hard, you know? We’re human beings.And we don’t like‍ to have⁢ things cloud our judgment, right? But when you knew someone and you were fine, and then you run for office, and he made some terrible statements. So I don’t know …. it makes it⁣ more difficult to do.”

This sentiment echoes comments Trump made in May during a press⁤ conference. When questioned about pardoning Diddy, Trump indicated he would need to “look” into the specifics⁣ of the case. At that time, he admitted he hadn’t been closely following the highly publicized trial against Combs, despite its media attention.

Trump reiterated that his⁢ friendship ⁣with Diddy soured after he entered the political ‍arena. “He used to really like me a lot,but I think when I ran for politics,it busted ⁤up that relationship from what I read,” he said. Nevertheless, Trump maintained that he would review the ⁢”facts”⁣ of the situation before making any decision.

Q: ⁢Sean Diddy Combs.Would you consider pardoning him?

Well,⁢ he was ⁣essentially, I guess, sort of half innocent. Probably- I was very friendly with him but when I ran for⁢ office he was very hostile and it’s hard. So, I don’t know, it’s more difficult.
