Trump gives surprising response when asked if he’d pardon Diddy if convicted in current se.x trafficking trial
**Former President Donald Trump recently addressed whether he’d consider pardoning Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who faces serious charges including racketeering and sex trafficking. While Trump didn’t rule out the possibility, he noted no formal pardon request had been made and admitted he hasn’t followed the case closely. The rapper, who has denied all allegations, is currently on trial with multiple witnesses testifying against him, including ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and former assistant Capricorn Clark.**
**Trump revealed his once-friendly relationship with Combs soured after he entered politics, suggesting the rapper’s attitude changed. Despite this, Trump emphasized his pardon decisions would be based on facts rather than personal relationships, stating, “If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me, it wouldn’t have any impact.” The comments came during a White House press conference where Trump highlighted his focus on the country’s wellbeing over popularity.**
