“No one asked: ‘Trump asked about pardon for Sean ‘Diddy’ Comb
Reporters asked President Donald Trump about the forgiveness of Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is suffering from a sex trafficking and assault trial.
50 Cent is about to give President Donald Trump his 2 Cent on Sean’s “Diddy” Comb.
In a May 30 Instagram post, the “In Da Club” rapper said he would reach out to Trump after the president said he “see the facts” in the Combs case, suggesting that a pardon could be on the table.
50 Cent shared a clip of the president’s comments in his post, writing, “I said some really bad things about Trump.”
In a follow-up post, 50 Cent suggested that past comments about Trump could prevent potential pardons. “Donald hasn’t done well to disregard him and I will never forget who chose to oppose him,” he wrote. He also shared a screenshot of an article suggesting he was trying to “nuke” the possibility of “nuke” of relentlessness, saying, “I didn’t say anything would be the nuke, I simply said I’d make sure Trump knew.”
Combs is on trial in New York and pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, assault and transporting to engage in prostitution.
When asked about the possibility of a comb of mercy in an oval office on May 30th, Trump said “no one asked,” but “I know people are thinking about it” and “some people are very close to asking.” He went on to say he “sees the facts” of Combs’ case. “If you think someone has been abused, whether they like me or not, that has no effect,” he said.
The feud with 50 Cent Combs recently appeared in court with former Combs assistant Capricorn Clark.
Brian Cult, a law professor at Michigan State University’s Faculty of Law, recently told USA Today that Trump could forgive the comb to end the trial.
“These are federal accusations, so that’s the main limitation. The issue is the federal government, it has to be criminal versus civil and it relates to what is already happening,” the cult said. “But the person still doesn’t need to be charged or even convicted. The Supreme Court said that preemptive pardons are fine.”
