A federal judge rejected Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attempt to silence all potential witnesses in his criminal sex trafficking case on Friday, saying his concerns do not outweigh an alleged victim’s right to free speech.

After three judges denied his bail request, Diddy's team says new evidence and bond conditions favor this request to be freed ahead of his May trial.

Sean Combs lawyers have once again requested a $50 million bail package for their client, saying jail conditions complicate pre-trial prep.
