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.

Diddy's lawyers filed a fourth request for bail in a Manhattan federal court, and a judge rejected his "unprecedented" gag order request.
