Prosecutors Oppose Sean Combs' Bail Request

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is facing strong opposition from federal prosecutors regarding his bail request, as they cite a 'decades-long pattern of violence' and 'obstructive conduct' as reasons to keep him detained. The 55-year-old rapper, charged with serious offenses including racketeering and sex trafficking, remains at the Metropolitan Detention Center while awaiting a trial set for May 2025. Prosecutors allege Combs has manipulated communications even while incarcerated, contacting witnesses and using unauthorized communication tools, which they argue demonstrates a threat to the integrity of the legal process. His defense team is attempting to secure his release on a $50 million bail package that includes house arrest, arguing that he has been unconstitutionally detained. The judge is expected to make a decision shortly after Thanksgiving, with considerations of both sides’ arguments still ongoing. The prosecution's case paints a troubling picture of Combs’ alleged history of abuse and intimidation towards women and others.
