Lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs asked a judge on Wednesday to let him await his sex trafficking trial at his luxury home on an island near Miami Beach, rather than a federal jail in Brooklyn.

Combs’ lawyers offered a 50 million US dollars (£38 million) bail package – using his mansion as collateral – in exchange for releasing him to home detention with GPS monitoring.
