Judge Denies Diddy Bail as Pardon Bid Emerges

His legal team has approached President Trump for a pre-sentencing pardon ahead of his October 3 hearing.

Overview

  • Judge Arun Subramanian rejected Combs’s $50 million bail motion, finding he poses a flight risk and danger with no exceptional circumstances for release.
  • Virginia Huynh submitted a letter vouching for Combs’s character and urging supervised release, but the court remained unmoved.
  • Defense filings allege the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn routinely serves expired or infested food, describing the facility as inhumane.
  • Combs’s legal team has formally reached out to President Trump to seek a pardon before his sentencing.
  • Sentencing is set for October 3, and Combs faces up to ten years in prison under federal guidelines for his Mann Act convictions.
