Suge Knight has an interesting theory when it comes to Diddy and President Donald Trump.
When talking on the phone from prison with Chris Cuomo on the journalist’s News Nation show CUOMO in an interview that was posted Wednesday (May 14), Knight suggested Diddy has enough power and influence to warrant a possible pardon from the president if convicted on federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. “I think he’s got some favors with the government. I think they’re gonna show him a little leeway,” he suggested. “It might not seem like it when it’s all said and done, but I don’t think he has nothing to worry about, and I don’t think he’s worried because he’s gonna be federal, and if he gets convicted, Trump’s gonna pardon him.”
Earlier in the interview, he also floated the theory that Diddy and his team may try to tamper with jurors. “I still feel that Puffy is going to be all right and have a fair shot at it,” the Death Row founder proclaimed. “He’s not a not a dummy. And I’m quite sure somebody going to talk to those jurors and convince one or two of them that’s all you need, is one.”
Billboard has reached out to both Diddy’s team and the White House press office for comment.
Suge called into the news outlet after being mentioned during Cassie Ventura’s testimony at Diddy’s trial on Tuesday (May 13.)
While on the stand, Ventura recalled a time when Diddy once left his home in L.A. abruptly to allegedly confront Knight, who was said to be at a nearby diner by one of the embattled mogul’s bodyguards. “I don’t think Cassie is in a situation where she has to lie,” he said of his name being brought up during her testimony. “I don’t think she’s in a situation where she’s got to worry anymore. I think she’s in a great place with another baby on the way.”
