Sean Diddy Combs filed a new appeal in the court for his immediate release with a new argument against his allegedly unfair trial.

The 56-year-old disgraced music mogul presented the argument through his legal team Alexandra Shapiro and Nicole Westmoreland in New York on Thursday, April 9.

They claimed that the Bad Boy Records founder ought to be freed under the First Amendment, according to the details obtained by Page Six.

Shapiro and Westmoreland argued that Diddy was wrongfully convicted under the Mann Act, while he was involved in the creation of independent adult tapes, which is legal under US laws for freedom of speech.

The Last Night rapper’s legal team claimed that the Judge Arun Subramanian who was in-charge of the case, used the wrong allegations against Combs to sentence him strongly.

“We made it abundantly clear. The District Court should not consider the acquitted conduct,” Shapiro said, adding that Combs’ sentence is the “highest sentence ever imposed on a Mann Act defendant under the same-based defence level.”

The attorneys demanded immediate acquittal and release of the music mogul or at least his freedom and resentencing to lesser time.

However, Assistant US Attorney Christy Slavik called the whole argument “meritless” marking the distinction between Diddy and adult filmmakers.

He also doubled down on Judge Subramanian’s “correctly applied” ruling given the “aggravated manner in which [Combs] committed his Mann Act offenses.”

Combs was was convicted of transportation for prostitution in July 2025 after his arrest in September 2024. 

The Trump administration has made a sweeping reorganisation of the U.S. Forest Service.

Critics referred to this as the most catastrophic attack on the 121-year-old agency in its history.

In a major dismantling, the headquarters are shifted to Utah, and all ten regional offices have been shut down.

The restructuring was announced on Tuesday, April 7, via a press release announcing that the Agency’s headquarters are shifting from Washington, DC, to Salt Lake City.

Ten regional centers will be shut down to make way for fifteen political appointees referred to as “state directors.”

Additionally, more than fifty scientific centers located in thirty-one different states will also be abolished. It is important to note that according to scientists, any attempt to relocate the decades’ worth of long-term ecological research will result in its death.

It is believed that there is a systematic effort to demolish. Already, the current government has reduced by over 25% of the number of staff members within the land management agencies. A reduction in the budget for the Forest Service by one-third has been proposed.

Just days before Easter, Meghan Markle was spotted doing something most parents can relate to.

The Duchess was seen scouring the toy aisles for perfect little surprises. 

On April 1, the 44‑year‑old quietly slipped into a local children’s shop in Montecito, California, emerging moments later with two bulging brown paper bags.

Inside one bag, eagle‑eyed onlookers spotted a bright box of Magic Castle Sea‑Monkeys, the instant‑life critters that have delighted kids since the ’60s. 

And a deck of Magic Rabbit playing cards for filling Easter baskets ahead of the weekend festivities. 

HELLO! asked child and adolescent therapist Laura Gwilt of Swift Psychology what Meghan’s toy picks might suggest about her approach to parenting. 

Gwilt points out that nostalgic items like Sea‑Monkeys or classic card sets aren’t just fun throwbacks, they’re developmental gold.

“Open‑ended toys like these encourage kids to invent play scenarios rather than follow instructions,” she explains. 

That kind of imaginative freedom is strongly linked to creativity, and emotional regulation.

On Easter weekend Meghan shared clips of Archie and Lilibet hunting eggs, decorating them and frolicking in the garden of their Montecito home.
