Diddy is making a bold bid to have his federal convictions overturned.
Full story below…
As reported, the verdict of the mogul’s federal trial saw him found not guilty on the most serious charges (sex trafficking and racketeering), but found guilty of two prostitution offenses.
Moments ago, the embattled star’s legal team filed a motion to have those quashed.
Counsel for the 54-year-old (born Sean Combs) is petitioning the Court to set aside the jury’s verdict or grant a new trial.
Per the filing, the convictions (which are under the Mann Act) are “legally unsupported, constitutionally flawed, and inconsistent with longstanding Department of Justice policy.”
Diddy’s legal team added that the Bad Boy founder is the only person ever convicted under this statute where there was no commercial motive, no coercion, no sex, and no financial benefit.
His reps argue that “the conduct at issue, private performances between adults, often filmed and rewatched by Mr. Combs and his girlfriends, falls under constitutionally protected sexual expression.”
The legal maneuver comes as Diddy’s team filed a renewed bid for bail and President Donald Trump mulls a pardon.
The judge should give him the maximum possible sentence in October.
