And I'm Marjorie Hernandez, West Coast news editor for DailyMail.com in Los Angeles.

Thanks, Kayla. Well, this week, Sean Combs' legal team has asked the court for him to be released from jail in order to prepare for his trial beginning May 5th, 2025. The reason for this, his team have put forward is, quote, changed circumstances and they say new evidence. So his lawyers have filed this latest request for bail in a Manhattan federal court.

Of course. And in their court filing, his attorneys have proposed a, quote, far more robust bail package that would involve Diddy surrendering to a strict around-the-clock security monitoring and almost 100% restrictions on his ability to contact anybody but his lawyers. And also in his bail request, it comes with a cash package attached. as all of his other previous ones have.

And it's actually the same amount of $50 million or nearly 39 million pounds. So if we dive into the document, we can see that there's a memo filed by Diddy's attorneys for his bond motion, which actually will be discussed next Friday on November 22nd. Other documents filed by the defense alleged the prosecutors actually have been leaking information to the media.

Other documents filed by the defense alleged the prosecutors actually have been leaking information to the media.

They're actually asking the judge to do something about, quote, the leaks and claim this is actually endangering Diddy's right to a fair trial. So the defense also provided their reasons why the prosecution should disclose names of the alleged victims. They're arguing that there's no way to prepare for Diddy's defense if they don't know exactly who will be called to testify against him.

That's right. And what's interesting is that his lawyers have said this case is, quote, sui generis, meaning in U.S. law that it's unique and it doesn't fit into any existing legal category or precedent. The lawyers are also saying that Combs has, quote, no way of knowing whose claims the government is crediting.

And they go on to say that it's impossible to prepare for his defense in such a circumstance. So I think the November 22nd hearing will just be about the bail motion, but the issues concerning the press leaks and the defense requests to name the alleged victims will also probably be argued in a future date.

And that's it for today's news update. But as Kayla said earlier, we wanted to get into some of your thoughts and comments that we've received. And there are some great ones. These are from Spotify listeners. Missy Holland Chamberlain wrote, less music, please. It's kind of annoying. Sorry, but it is. Sorry, Missy. Sorry, Missy. But that one was from one of the earlier episodes. But you know what?

We love music. So I guess we're sorry, but not sorry.

That's right. And Anne Phan, again on Spotify, said rather cryptically, I woke up with Diddy. Now, there's different ways to interpret that. One is simply this person on some unspecified morning just woke up with Diddy. Nice.

Another is that their consciousness was awoken by the allegations in the case.
