Diddy's Son Christian Combs Arrested on Federal Gun Charges

PUBLISHED Sep 5, 2026, 4:13 PM ET

Sean Combs faces a major legal setback after his entire defense team filed motions to withdraw from his federal sex trafficking case on September 6, 2026. Court documents filed in the Southern District of New York show that attorneys Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos requested permission to step down, citing irreconcilable differences. Combs has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since his September 2024 arrest on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution, to which he has pleaded not guilty. His trial was previously scheduled for May 5, 2026, before facing multiple postponements. If Judge Arun Subramanian approves the withdrawal, Combs must secure new representation immediately. Prosecutors recently added new evidence, including property surveillance footage and a witness list exceeding fifty individuals. Legal experts indicate the defense overhaul will likely cause further trial delays as new counsel reviews the extensive discovery materials ahead of proceedings.
