The president of the United States, Donald Trump, does not rule out parding the rapper Sean combs, known as Diddy, who is charged with sexual trafficking, conspiracy for extortion and transport purposes to exercise pimperism.
“First of all, I would look at what is happening (…) I would notice the events. If I think someone has been mistreated, whether I like it, that would have no impact on me,” Trump said today, when asked about the case, during a conference with the magnate Elon Musk in the Oval Office of the White House.
In 2012, during an episode of his famous television series The Amprentice, the now president said that combs was a good friend of his, and both appear in various photographs together.
However, the Republican leader said today that he has not spoken with the artist “in years.” “I used to like him a lot, but I think that when I appeared as a political candidate, that relationship broke,” he added.
Trump added that he has not followed the case closely, although he is receiving great media coverage.
Combs faces a federal trial in New York, which has already been twenty witnesses, including their ex -partner Cassie Ventura, who has accused him of physically and sexually assaulting her.
Specifically, Ventura has pointed to the artist for forcing her to participate in sexual marathons with prostitutes, whom Diddy called “Freak offs” or “Wild King Nights”, which could last days.
The rapper, who remains detained in a Brooklyn prison without bail, could face a maximum perpetual chain penalty if he is convicted of all charges.
For its part, Trump has pardoned other celebrities in terms of mandate, including the couple formed by Todd and Julie Chrisley, protagonists of a television reality show and imprisoned for tax fraud and evasion.
