Overview
- Combs’s legal team filed a motion on July 31 to overturn his two Mann Act convictions or secure a new trial, citing insufficient evidence and First Amendment protections.
- He has offered a $50 million bond to transfer to house arrest at his Miami home after Judge Arun Subramanian denied previous bail requests over safety and community risk concerns.
- President Trump is reportedly weighing a pre-sentencing pardon for Combs following interventions by his associates and earlier remarks about unfair treatment.
- Combs remains detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits October 3 sentencing on two counts related to transporting individuals for prostitution.
- Although he faces up to 20 years in prison, sentencing guidelines and his acquittals on the most serious charges suggest he could receive a shorter term if convictions are upheld.
