to NBC News, a letter sent by Ambassador Robert O’Brien on July 31 warned of “potentially negative consequences to the U.S.-Swedish bilateral relationship” should A$AP Rocky not be released.
In response, Sweden’s prosecutor-general, Petra Lundh wrote: “No other prosecutor, not even I, may interfere with a specific case or try to affect the prosecutor responsible.”
The letters came following pleas to President Trump on behalf of A$AP Rocky from pals Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Rocky was arrested July 3 on an assault charge his attorneys maintain that he attempted to peacefully resolve. The situation sounds like a terrible one for Rocky, who sat in jail for weeks before being charged with a crime as others, like rapper Quavo, came forward with their own stories of racism and mistreatment at the hands of Swedish cops.
Donald Trump also turned to social media and tweeted what appears to be an attempt at wordplay: “It was a Rocky Week, get home ASAP A$AP!”
