President Donald Trump has been communicating with Diddy's legal team — and is considering pardoning him.According to TMZ's direct sources, this decision would be based on the judge's decision regarding Diddy's bail.Trump would then be receptive, or "more than open" to the pardon.But the pardon comes with conditions: if Diddy is granted bail, the decision would likely come after Diddy is sentenced. If Diddy isn't given bail, the pardon decision would be made immediately. .Diddy was convicted on two counts of the Mann Act and acquitted of three other major charges. According to TMZ, "The Mann Act is rarely used by federal prosecutors as a singular charge.""Most legal experts agree ... if Diddy's case only involved the Mann Act, no charges would have been filed against him." The Mann Act is a federal law which makes it illegal to transport individuals across state lines for illegal sexual activity. The maximum sentence which can be served for each conviction is 10 years.When asked by a reporter, Trump had this to say on the matter: "I would certainly look into the facts, if I think somebody was mistreated."Back in the day in NYC, Trump and Diddy ran in similar circles after Diddy became hyper-successful with Bad Boy Records.
