Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, is accused with two others of beating a 19-year-old man in Stockholm on June 30. Prosecutors played video footage in court that showed Mayers throwing a young man to the ground.
Swedish news agency TT said Trump sent the U.S. special presidential envoy for hostage affairs to Stockholm to monitor the court proceedings and to show support for Mayers. Prosecutors said 19-year-old Mustafa Jafari and a friend got into an argument with Mayers and one of his bodyguards near a fast-food restaurant where the rapper's entourage had eaten.
A$AP Rocky previously encountered violent situations on streets because of his fame and “there are some people who don't always wish him well.” Jovicic said. Another lawyer representing A$AP Rocky in Sweden, Martin Persson, told public broadcaster SVT that he would present new evidence, including facts that would show “no bottle has been used to hit or injure anyone.”
Trump also weighed in, asking for a phone call with Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Lofven and offering to personally guarantee the rapper's bail. The two leaders spoke, but Lofven stressed he couldn't interfere in a legal case.

He's not a hostage though, what a bunch of morons these people are They should have sent hostage negotiators to the border to get those kids from the U.S. concentration camps TrumpIsAFelon
So I take he and A$AP are great friends. Why would a President interfere in such a case? Sweden will really be laughing now.
