Sean 'Diddy' Combs Seeks $50M Bail for May Trial, Denied Gag Order
Nov 9, 2024, 03:46 AM
Sean 'Diddy' Combs, currently detained on criminal sex trafficking charges, has made a new attempt to secure his release on a $50 million bond. His legal team proposed that the bond be backed by his $48 million Miami home, with family members co-signing and 24/7 security in place. This latest bid for bail comes after Combs spent eight weeks in custody, with his lawyers arguing that changed circumstances and new evidence warrant his release to prepare for a May trial from outside jail. Despite these efforts, a judge denied Combs' request for a gag order on potential witnesses and their attorneys, citing that there are other avenues for Combs to seek relief if prejudicial statements are made to the press. Additionally, Combs' lawyers have challenged the prosecutors' claims of a possible second sex trafficking victim, asserting that the government's case against him is thin.
