Overview
- Judge Arun Subramanian delayed a decision on Sean 'Diddy' Combs' third bail request, requesting clarification on his jail communications and privileges.
- Prosecutors argue that Combs has violated jail rules, attempted to influence witnesses, and remains a flight risk, citing his use of unauthorized communication methods and alleged bribery attempts.
- Combs' defense team disputes the accusations, claiming the government has used misleading evidence, including an edited video of a 2016 incident with ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, to support their case.
- The rapper faces federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and related crimes, with allegations involving coercion, drugging, and abuse of victims during so-called 'Freak Off' events.
- The court has set a deadline of November 25 for both sides to submit additional information on Combs' jail communications, with his trial scheduled to begin on May 5, 2025.
