Sean "Diddy" Combs filed a new request for bail on Friday, saying changed circumstances, along with new evidence, mean the hip-hop mogul should be allowed to prepare for a May trial from outside jail.

By Luc Cohen, Jonathan Stempel NEW YORK (Reuters) -Sean "Diddy" Combs on Friday proposed a new $50 million bail package backed by his Florida mansion that the music mogul hopes will win his release from the Brooklyn jail where he has been held for eight weeks on criminal sex trafficking charges.

Sean "Diddy" Combs sought again on Friday to be released from pretrial detention by offering a "far more robust" bail package and by asserting the government's criminal case against him "is thin," according to a new court filing.
