NEW YORK — Sean “Diddy” Combs filed a new request for bail Friday, saying changes in circumstances, as well as new evidence, mean the hip-hop mogul should be allowed to prepare for his trial in May from outside the prison.

Combs’ lawyers filed the request in Manhattan federal court, where his previous requests for bail have been denied by two judges since his September arrest on racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges.

He has pleaded not guilty to charges that he coerced and abused women for years with the help of a network of associates and employees, while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnappings, arson and physical beatings.

He awaits trial May 5 at a federal detention center in Brooklyn.

In their new court filing, Combs’ lawyers say they are proposing a “much more robust” bail program that would subject the artist to strict 24-hour security monitoring and near-total restrictions on his ability to contact anyone other than their lawyers. But the amount they’re attaching to the package remains $50 million, as they previously proposed.

They also cite new evidence that they say “makes clear that the government’s case is thin.” That evidence, lawyers say, refutes the government’s claim that a March 2016 video showing Combs physically assaulting his then-girlfriend occurred during a forced operation. “freaking out,” a sexual event described in the indictment against Combs.

They wrote that the encounter was instead “a one-minute glimpse into a complex but decade-long consensual relationship” between Combs and his then-girlfriend.

The lawyers argued that Combs’ conditions of detention at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn violated his constitutional rights to participate in his defense.
