“I still feel that Puffy’s gonna be all right and have a fair shot at it, because Puffy didn’t — he’s not a dummy,” Knight said Tuesday evening, while calling into NewsNation’s “CUOMO.”
“I’m quite sure somebody’s going to talk to those jurors and convince one or two of them — that’s all you need, is one,” he told host Chris Cuomo. “So, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a real exciting situation, but I think he’s going to be all right.”
Cuomo asked Knight, who is serving a 28-year prison sentence in California for voluntary manslaughter, if thinks Combs will be “all right” because someone could tamper with the jury.
The 60-year-old argued the rapper has “influence,” and it does not “seem like the prosecution is that bad against him.”
“I think he got some favors with the government. I think they’re going to show him a little leeway. It might not seem like it when it’s all said and done, but I don’t think he had nothing to worry about,” Knight told NewsNation. “I don’t think he’s worried, because he’s going to be federal. And if he gets convicted, Trump’s going to pardon him.”
Cuomo then inquired if Knight believed Trump would pardon Combs “for sex trafficking.”
“S‑‑‑, he pardoned Michael Harris,” Knight said in response, referring to the music executive that helped found Godfather Entertainment, the parent company of Death Row Records.
“They don’t care about that. It’s all about, you know, what’s in it for the long run,” he added.
Harris was granted clemency in 2021 after spending 33 years in prison on drug charges. The music executive later endorsed Trump’s 2024 presidential bid.

Why on earth would Trump pardon the Diddy diddler freak off man? There is only downside to it.
I highly doubt this.
There are a lot of people far more deserving of a presidential pardon than Sean Combs. Trump would have to be out of his mind to pardon him - a lot of his supporters are still waiting for information about Combs’ White Parties and the attendee list, similar to the interest in the Epstein client list.
Baloney
Suge Knight should change his name to Sage Knight as he is so wise.
At this point, it's a matter of whether someone can afford it. Trump is teflon, so there's no downside.
Golly gee Wally, that doesn't sound gangster does it, like jury tampering?
“Why on earth would Trump pardon the Diddy diddler freak off man? There is only downside to it.”
Exactly my question too. This has got to be fake news...
“The Hill”? Seriously?
“At this point, it’s a matter of whether someone can afford it. Trump is teflon, so there’s no downside.”
No downside? How could he even do this and still claim morality???
It would be a huge strike against him from my own moral point of view for sure.
The Hill is reporting what happened on News Nation.
Trump may pardon Diddy if convicted: Suge Knight
Do you believe it didn't happen and The Hill is lying?
BS
Thug night standing up for rapists and wife beaters and pimps and thugs everywhere! Yeah, real winning move for Trump to pardon him. /s
Cuomo doing a stab act at Trump a snivelers trade mark.
NOT A FREAKING CHANCE, SUGEY.
Relax...NEVER going to happen.
First sentence is JURY TAMPERING!
A Character Witness, now lending his full support from his jail cell.
I wouldn’t trust the Hill to report that the sun came up this morning.
