The sex trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs will proceed as scheduled in early May despite his lawyer’s claims that they need an extra two months to prepare, a judge said Friday. Judge Arun Subramanian said that the hip-hop mogul’s trial, projected to last from eight to 10 weeks, will start May 5. Lawyers for the entertainer had requested a two-month delay, citing a need for more time to gather information about trial witnesses and to cope with late additions to the indictment against their client. But the judge, noting that Combs has at least four attorneys, said the defense has sufficient time to be ready for trial next month. #abcnews #news #diddy #seandiddycombs #diddytrial

Pedestrians in Seattle were startled Wednesday morning when crosswalk signals began broadcasting an unusual political message: a spoof recording purporting to be Amazon founder Jeff Bezos criticizing local tax policies. Residents shared on X the automated messages, which played at several busy intersections across the city for hours. One message reviewed by ABC News appeared to mimic Bezos by saying: "Hi, I'm Jeff Bezos, this crosswalk is sponsored by Amazon Prime with an important message. Please don't tax the rich. Otherwise, all the other billionaires will move to Florida too." The unauthorized recordings, which appeared to be a form of political protest, targeted multiple intersections in Seattle's tech-heavy South Lake Union neighborhood and the bustling University District, the Seattle Department of Transportation said. #news #jeffbezos
