Diddy’s lawyer recently talked about the unlikely bond the disgraced rapper has with President Donald Trump via Radar Online.
The outlet reported Mark Geragos, who has represented the hip-hop mogul for years, claims his client would pledge his allegiance to the President should he grant him a pardon.
When asked if Combs would side with Trump if a pardon is actioned, Geragos said: “You want to know the truth? I think yes.’
“And do you know why? I don’t know that it would feel like a fealty oath or anything else.
“I think having done this for 40 odd years. What happens to people when they go through a criminal case — I’ve watched it.
“I can’t remember the last time that a client didn’t say to me after a criminal case, ‘how do you do this for a living? How do you go through this?’
“I remember clients saying ‘they’ve made a caricature of me — the prosecutors have.’
“There’s something about that fraternity of people who have been accused and have gone through the process that gives you an affinity.
“It would not surprise me to hear Sean say ‘I now get it, I understand it, and I was wrong then.’ I don’t know that I would say he’s pledging loyalty, but I think he would probably say, ‘I now get what he went through.”
This comes after Combs’ attorneys have approached the Trump administration seeking a presidential pardon. The disgraced music mogul’s lawyer Nicole Westmoreland claimed last Tuesday that discussions were underway about a potential pardon.
She said: “It’s my understanding that we’ve reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon.”
Westmoreland added Combs, 55, “is a very hopeful person and I believe that he remains hopeful” that Trump will grant the pardon.
That came just days after Trump insisted “nobody’s asked” about the pardon, even as rumors swirled that he was “seriously considering” it.
