Mike Tyson and President Donald Trump were once very good friends, although it was a rocky relationship, to say the least. So in a weird way, its not entirely surprising that in a video posted by WNBC-TV, Thursday night, Tyson claimed that Trump promised him a pardon for his rape conviction. It gets even weirder.
Tyson made the claim while sharing the stage with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and asked the governor to place a call to the president on his behalf. Christie joked awkwardly that he would raise the matter with Trump.
The exchanged happened while Tyson was appearing at the NJ Reentry Corporations prisoner reentry conference at St. Peters University in Jersey City. Former Governor Jim McGreevey asked Tyson if he had anything to say to Christie. To which Tyson replied:
Man, governor I wish you could talk to Donald Trump, cause I havent talked to him in many years. Tell him he said he was going to give me my pardon so I am waiting for my pardon. He said it out of his mouth so Im waiting.
I will put it on my list for the next phone call, Mike, said Christie.

Russias top lobbyist is organizing a road show for entrepreneurs to pitch their ideas to investors across America this summer. And the co-owner of a leading for-profit university, Synergy, plans to hire Mike Tyson to promote a business conference in New York in October, followed by one in Moscow in November.
