Sean 'Diddy' Combs expected to plead not guilty on Friday to new allegations
Briefly

Sean "Diddy" Combs is set to plead not guilty to new allegations in two superseding indictments, which expand the criminal charges he faces, including forced labor and misconduct toward employees. Prosecutors are urging the court to commence jury selection before May 5 to prevent complications with summer schedules. The defense is preparing to present evidence, particularly addressing a controversial video involving Combs and a former girlfriend. Both sides exhibit distinct strategies on evidence disclosure and trial progression as key dates approach.
One of the new indictments expands the timeframe of allegedly criminal conduct, detailing the forced labor and sexual coercion of employees by Combs.
Federal prosecutors argue that the trial should start May 5 to avoid challenges in jury selection extending beyond July 4, marking an urgent timeline for the court.
