Criminal investigators have intensified their probe into Sean "Diddy" Combs as new testimony emerges in the federal case against him. A male witness testified before the grand jury on Thursday, contributing significant details to the ongoing investigation.

Combs faces serious federal charges including racketeering and sex trafficking, having pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors allege he operated a network involved in coercion and abuse over multiple years. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson has indicated a potential superseding indictment may be forthcoming before the May 5 trial date.

The grand jury's role is crucial in determining whether additional charges are warranted. Recent testimony reportedly corroborates previous allegations about the structure of Combs' alleged network.

Despite offering a $50 million bail package with GPS monitoring and travel restrictions, two separate judges have denied Combs' requests for release, citing concerns about witness intimidation and the severity of charges.

Parallel to the federal case, Combs faces multiple civil lawsuits, including two recent cases alleging sexual assault involving minors from 2005 and 2008. His legal team maintains his innocence and dismisses the civil suits as publicity-seeking attempts to damage his reputation.

As the May 5 trial approaches, prosecutors continue gathering evidence while Combs' defense team prepares their strategy. The grand jury's findings will significantly influence the direction of this high-profile case.
