"Well, he was essentially, I guess, sort of half innocent. Probably - I was very friendly with him but when I ran for office he was very hostile and it's hard. So, I don't know, it's more difficult," Trump said about potentially pardoning Diddy's legal sentence.

"If I think somebody was mistreated - whether they like me or don't like me, it wouldn't have any impact," he explained. "I haven't seen him. I haven't spoken to him in years. He used to really like me a lot, but I think when I ran for politics, that relationship busted up, from what I read."He continued, "You know, it's different. You become a much different person when you run for politics, and you do what's right. I could do other things, and I'm sure he'd like me, and I'm sure other people would like me, but it wouldn't be as good for our country."
