Sean "Diddy" Combs is asking a judge to release him on a $50 million bond while he awaits sentencing in October. Combs was acquitted of the most serious federal charges he faced, but convicted of lesser prostitution-related offenses. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, argued on Tuesday that conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn are dangerous. Agnifilo noted that others convicted of similar offenses were typically released before sentencing. In July, Combs was denied bail after being acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Judge Arun Subramanian said Combs hasn't shown he is not a danger to the community.
President Donald Trump says his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein ended after Epstein hired people who had worked for Trump. The Republican president said Monday that he had warned Epstein about hiring Trump staff and that when Epstein did it again, “I threw him out of the place.” The place Trump refers to is his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida. Authorities say the disgraced financier killed himself in a New York jail cell in 2019 as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. The case has dogged Trump after he and his top allies stoked conspiracy theories about Epstein's death.
The U.S. Congress is preparing to subpoena testimony from Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. Maxwell's crimes have resurfaced amid pressure on President Donald Trump and the Department of Justice to release information about Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell has always maintained her innocence. If subpoenaed, she would join a list of convicted criminals who have testified before Congress, including Michael Cohen, Joseph Valachi, Michael Milken, and Jack Ruby. These testimonies have influenced history, political narratives and public perception, especially about controversies mired in conspiracy theories.

Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey who as a federal prosecutor in Manhattan worked on cases against Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jeffrey Epstein, has told colleagues in a note that “fear is the tool of a tyrant” and that her firing without reason should fuel “a fire of righteous indignation at abuses of power.” In a message obtained by The Associated Press, she wrote that “if a career prosecutor can be fired without reason, fear may seep into the decisions of those who remain." She told colleagues that they should not let that happen.

Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to answer questions Tuesday about investigate files related to Jeffrey Epstein and her clash with a top FBI official. She's seeking to press ahead with a business-as-usual approach in the face of right-wing outrage that has plunged the Justice Department into turmoil. Bondi was pressed by reporters at an announcement touting drug seizures. The Trump administration is struggling to contain the fallout of a decision not to release any more records related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation.
