From Daily Mail: [President Donald] Trump was asked on Friday if he would pardon his former friend [Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’] if he is convicted of sex-trafficking.
Prosecutors say the founder of Bad Boy Records, 55, coerced women over two decades to take part in days-long, drug-fueled sexual performances with male sex workers known as ‘freak offs.’
Asked about his intentions regarding “Diddy,” Trump said, “I know people are thinking about it.”
“First of all, I’d look at what’s happening…” he continued. “I haven’t spoken to him in years. He really liked me a lot.”
WATCH:
Trump’s response comes as a former assistant of Combs named “Mia” became the second woman to accuse him of raping her.
Mia testified in Combs’ sex-trafficking trial in Manhattan federal court, saying entertainer raped her at least twice, once as she was sleeping.
Daily Mail reports that Diddy’s attorney attempted to discredit Mia with last-minute video evidence, but Judge Arun Subramanian did not agree.
From Daily Mail:
The defense introduced a video that showed Mia wishing Diddy a happy birthday in 2013. They said it would show the jury that ‘her affect on the stand is an act.’
‘We found this video on the internet,’ lead defense attorney Marc Agnifilo told the judge.
‘I think there were people on the internet who figured out who Mia is…. we received emails from random people with the same video.’
But the judge denied the request of the defense in a stern tone saying they violated the rules to submit evidence.
‘Court’s order is very clear, if you don’t turn over those exhibits you need to establish good cause,’ he said.
‘If someone sent this to you at 1am yesterday that’s something but if you had this video in your possession for the past week, two weeks and you only decided to produce it now that’s a different story. I don’t think you’ve thought through this,’ the judge added.
