Music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs was denied bail on Wednesday after a second judge ruled against his pretrial release. Combs faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and using transportation to engage in prostitution. Federal prosecutors argued Combs was a threat to the community and a flight risk. His defense team, which proposed strict bail conditions including private security monitoring, was unsuccessful in persuading the judge. Combs' legal team requested his transfer to a New Jersey facility, and the judge instructed them to submit a formal request by Monday.
