Kelly Warns Trump: Pardoning Diddy Risks PR Disaster
Megyn Kelly is advising Donald Trump not to pardon Diddy, a musician who faces sentencing.
This is because Trump is already facing criticism over his alleged connections to Jeffrey Epstein and if he pardons Diddy, it could hurt Trump's campaign and make it seem like he is part of an elite group.
This is especially important since Trump promised not to be part of the elite when he ran for president.
Megyn Kelly warned Donald Trump against pardoning Diddy.
Kelly believes a pardon could damage Trump's campaign and the Republican party.
Trump is under scrutiny for alleged ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
Diddy's sentencing is scheduled for October and faces a potential 20-year sentence.
Pardoning Diddy could make Trump appear part of an elite cabal.
