Former Prosecutor Discusses the Possibility of Trump Pardoning Diddy

Price and Deaton discussed the Diddy case, John’s experience as a prosecutor, and how that will inform his work if he is elected to the US Senate in Massachusetts next year.

John Deaton is a U.S. Marine veteran, cancer survivor, father of three daughters, trial attorney, and author who overcame significant challenges to build a successful life and advocate for underrepresented communities. Born in 1967 in Highland Park, Michigan, he grew up in generational poverty amid racial tensions and violence. Despite these hardships, Deaton graduated magna cum laude from Eastern Michigan University and earned his law degree from New England School of Law in 1995. He served as a Judge Advocate at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, and later as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona.

After retiring from the Marines in 2002, Deaton founded his own law firm, focusing on representing mesothelioma and cancer victims against major corporations. His advocacy extended to exposing asbestos contamination in children’s products sold by Claire’s, leading to international product recalls and changes in testing standards. In 2024, Deaton ran as the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat in Massachusetts, challenging incumbent Elizabeth Warren.
