Diddy ‘should be worried' after request to delay trial denied by judge
'He's facing a lengthy term behind bars, we're hearing that J Lo could be forced to testify, we're hearing the jury are going to see videos of some of these freak-offs, we don't know who's involved in these alleged tapes, this is going to be such a compelling court drama,' Ms Schofield said.
'There are a lot of people that are fearful right now of what could potentially come out.
'All eyes will be on this trial, all eyes would be on, you know, the people that could potentially be involved in this, and I think Diddy should be worried.'

Sean 'Diddy' Combs seeking Trump pardon: lawyer
Music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is to be sentenced in October for his conviction on prostitution-related charges, is seeking a pardon from President Donald Trump, one of his lawyers said Tuesday. "It's my understanding that we've reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon," Nicole Westmoreland told CNN in an interview. Trump has indicated, however, that he is unlikely to grant a pardon to the 55-year-old Combs. "I was very friendly with him. I got along with him great and he seemed like a nice guy," Trump said in an interview on Friday with Newsmax. "I didn't know him well, but when I ran for office, he was very hostile." Asked if that meant he was not inclined to pardon Combs, Trump said: "I would say so, yeah." A New York jury found Combs guilty last month of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, each of which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. He was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges after a marathon trial in which he was accused of harrowing abuse. Sentencing has been set for October 3.

Lawyers confirm Sean 'Diddy' Combs is seeking pardon from Donald Trump
Sean "Diddy" Combs is seeking a pardon from US President Donald Trump, one of his lawyers has confirmed. "It's my understanding that we've reached out and had conversations in reference to a pardon," Nicole Westmoreland told CNN in an interview on Tuesday, local time. Mr Trump has indicated that he is unlikely to grant a pardon to the disgraced media mogul. "I was very friendly with him. I got along with him great and he seemed like a nice guy," Mr Trump said in an interview on Friday with conservative American news channel Newsmax. "I didn't know him well, but when I ran for office, he was very hostile," he added. Asked if that meant he was not inclined to pardon Combs, Mr Trump said: "I would say so, yeah." A New York jury found Combs guilty last month of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, each of which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs loses bid to get out of jail prior to sentencing
Sean "Diddy" Combs has lost a bid to be released from jail ahead of his sentencing on October 3. The hip-hop mogul was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution at his criminal trial last month but was found not guilty of the most serious charges he faced. He was accused of coercing girlfriends into having drug-fuelled sex marathons with male sex workers while he watched and filmed them. Combs has been behind bars since his arrest in September 2024. Since the verdict, his lawyers have repeatedly renewed their efforts to get him out on bail until his sentencing. His lawyers had asked US District Judge Arun Subramanian on July 29 to release Combs on a $US50 million ($77.2 million) bond. They argued conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where Combs was being held, were dangerous and that defendants convicted of prostitution-related charges in the past were usually released ahead of their sentencing. Prosecutors with the Manhattan US Attorney's Office countered the appeal for bail in a court filing on August 1, arguing staffing levels, medical services and facility conditions at the detention centre had improved since Combs was arrested. They said evidence of Combs's physical violence presented at trial showed he was a danger to the community. In a written ruling on Monday, Mr Subramanian said Combs's arguments "might have traction in a case that didn't involve evidence of violence, coercion or subjugation in connection with the acts of prostitution at issue, but the record here contains evidence of all three". Mr Subramanian said the rapper had not proven he did not pose a flight risk or danger, nor had he shown "exceptional circumstance" that would justify his release after a conviction that otherwise required detention. Combs's lawyers did not immediately respond to a request for comment. His conviction carries the potential for up to 10 years in prison. But there are complicated federal guidelines for calculating sentences in any given case, and prosecutors and Combs's lawyers disagree on how the guidelines come out for his case. The guidelines are not mandatory, and Mr Subramanian will have wide scope in deciding Combs's punishment. Mr Subramanian said his decision did not foreshadow what sentence he might impose against Combs. AP/Reuters
