Today was the first day of the A$AP mob member’s trial.

Rocky appeared in court today and entered a plea of not guilty to the assault charges he is facing. The plaintiff is reportedly seeking $14,000 from the rapper. Below is a photo of his mother, Renee Black, looking understandably distraught as she left the courtroom.

Trump took to Twitter last week as he usually does, but this time he may have been saying some things the people were actually interested in hearing. Donnie announced, that he was going to try and use his Presidential pull to reach out to the Swedish Prime Minister and get Rocky back home expeditiously.

Unfortunately ,the Swedish government didn’t GAF. This of course led Trump to use his twitter fingers and put the Scandinavian country on FULL blast!!! He ended the series of tweets with “#FreeRocky”. Now news has surfaced via the Associated Press; that 45 has sent a special presidential envoy for hostage affairs to Sweden to monitor the proceedings. Ok dang! A spokesperson for the US Embassy in Stockholm confirmed the news, explaining that Robert O’Brien was sent “to look after the well-being of American citizens, which is always our top priority.”

Below is a photo of Rocky’s lawyer Slobodan Jovicic during the after trial press conference. We’re praying for the best outcome for Rocky and his family, friends and fans!
