October 25In a letter submitted to the court Friday, Combs' attorneys specifically cite a New York Post article that quotes a "federal law enforcement source who is involved in the investigation" as proof the Department of Homeland Security is purposefully interfering with Comb' right to a fair trial (in October, Combs' legal team claimed DHS leaked an incriminating video to Combs CNN, which the agency denied).

October 22Two of Combs’ seven children—Quincy Brown, Combs' adopted 33-year-old son, and Chance Combs, his 18-year-old daughter with Sarah Chapman—made a joint post on Instagram calling the last month "devastating" for their family and defending their father from what they called "accusations, conspiracy theories and false narratives.”

October 15Combs returned to Instagram for the first time since his arrest in September with a post marking the second birthday of his youngest daughter, named Love Sean Combs (he’d previously deleted every post on the social media account as allegations piled up against him, but has posted a total of three times since July, each time with photos of his children).

October 11A U.S. Appeals court referred Combs' latest request for bail to a panel of three judges, but ruled he will remain behind bars until a decision is made.

October 10 Combs appeared in court for the first time since his arrest, where a trial date of May 5 was set for him to face federal charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

October 9Combs’ team filed a memo alleging that the Department of Homeland Security leaked a surveillance video that showed him abusing his ex-girlfriend, Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, though prosecutors have denied the allegations and said they did not obtain that video until it was made public by CNN.

October 8Lawyers for Combs filed paperwork asking he be allowed to await trial outside of the Metropolitan Detention Center where he resides, claiming the initial decision to deny him bail was unfairly “distorted” by the attention on the case (the initial judge, who has since been replaced, ruled Combs should stay in jail so he can’t use his money and influence to interfere in the government's case against him).

October 6Janice Small Combs, Sean Combs' mother, said in a statement through her family's attorney she is "devastated and profoundly saddened" by the allegations against her son, adding those accusing him of misconduct are "seeking a financial gain" and likened Combs to "many individuals" who have been "wrongfully convicted due to their past actions or mistakes"—though she also said Combs “may have been not entirely truthful” when denying assault allegations raised by his ex-girlfriend Ventura.

September 30Lawyers for Combs filed a notice asking the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in the Southern District of New York to overturn the decision to hold him in prison while he awaits trial, a choice Judge Andrew Carter made citing concerns Combs had allegedly tampered with witnesses who had been contacted as part of the investigation against him (the request was not granted).

September 26A documentary was released for streaming on Tubi and featured an interview with Combs’ lawyer Marc Agnifilo—who addressed a leaked surveillance video of Combs shoving and kicking ex-girlfriend Ventura—in which he called the indictment a takedown of a “successful Black man" and said he doesn't expect Combs to accept a plea bargain.

September 24Combs is sharing a unit with disgraced former cryptocurrency billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried at the Metropolitan Detention Center, according to The New York Times, as the former crypto mogul serves out a 25-year sentence in prison for counts of conspiracy, fraud and money laundering linked to a scheme that lost former FTX customers, lenders and investors several billion dollars.

September 18Combs' lawyers cited "horrific" conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York in a request for bail—which included a $50 million bond offer, GPS monitoring and strict limitations on visitors—that was denied by U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter, who said the conditions weren’t enough to ensure the safety of the community.

September 17A federal court in Manhattan unsealed charges against Combs for racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution, alleging he “abused, threatened, and coerced women and others around him to fulfill sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct.”

September 16Combs was arrested in Manhattan after being indicted by a grand jury.

May 29Sources told CNN federal investigators were getting close to filing charges against Combs, and that plaintiffs who had filed individual civil lawsuits against him had been interviewed as part of the case.
