Overview

• Judge Arun Subramanian denied Combs’s third bail request, ruling that his $50 million offer with electronic monitoring and Miami house arrest failed to allay flight risk and witness safety concerns.
• Recent filings include a letter from ex-partner Virginia Huynh portraying Combs as reformed and nonviolent, and attorney Marc Agnifilo’s complaint detailing spoiled, maggot-infested food and lack of fresh air at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center.
• Combs’s team has accused prosecutors of pursuing draconian, unfair treatment since the investigation began and has filed constitutional appeals in court documents.
• Defense lawyers revealed they approached President Trump about a possible pardon, though Trump indicated he is unlikely to grant clemency for the convicted rapper.
• Combs, partially convicted on prostitution-related charges in July and acquitted on trafficking and RICO counts, remains in custody awaiting his October 3 sentencing, facing up to 20 years under the Mann Act.
