    Sean “Diddy” Combs the latest bail application should be denied because he is trying to obstruct his sex crimes case, according to federal prosecutors.

    In a document filed Friday, federal prosecutors filed new charges targeting the embattled music mogul, who are seeking to be released from bail for the fourth time since his Arrest in September at a Manhattan hotel. In the filing, prosecutors say Combs “presents a serious risk of obstruction, endangerment and flight.”

    Combs, which is held at Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center until his trial in May 2025, he “among other things, orchestrated social media campaigns that, in his own words, are aimed at tainting the jury,” according to prosecutors, and “made efforts to publicly disclose material that he consider useful for him. case.”

    The filing includes redacted notes found during a search of the jail that prosecutors say is evidence Combs paid a witness to post in support of him on Instagram.

    USA TODAY has reached out to Combs’ representatives for comment.

    The filing also alleged that Combs “contacted witnesses through third parties” and used the phone accounts of at least eight other inmates “apparently to avoid law enforcement monitoring.” The file also states that he attempted to make phone calls to contacts not on his approved contact list.

    The filing says that “in order to obtain or maintain access to the PAC numbers (phone access codes) of other inmates, the defendant directs others to pay inmates, including through payment processing applications and deposits into the Commissioner’s BOP (Bureau of Prisons) account ,” adding that Combs “knows” this is against BOP regulations.

    On Nov. 8, Combs’ legal team filed another bid to have the hip-hop mogul released from custody, proposing what they called “an extremely substantial and comprehensive bail package.” Combs’ previous attempts to be released from prison on bail were rejected by several judges.

    Following is this renewed motion for bail from Combs’ attorneys two requests around the time he was accused and an appeal filed with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in September.

    According to federal court filings reviewed by USA TODAY at the time, Combs’ attorneys added several conditions to their previous bond proposals to argue that he is not a flight risk.

    They also denied he was a danger to society, pointing to the government’s evidence his alleged crimes — racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution — don’t carry as much “gravity” as prosecutors have suggested.
