OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
For the last two months, I couldn’t make up my mind: Should I relocate to New York to cover the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial, or follow it remotely from Los Angeles?
For weeks, it was a solid “No Diddy” from me.
Now it’s official: I’m heading to Manhattan to cover the trial in person.
Jury selection begins Monday, May 5th. I’ll be settling in that day and bringing you along for the ride — with real-time updates, straight from inside the courtroom.
I’ll also be doing man-on-the-street interviews documenting the chaos outside the courthouse, livestreams, podcasts and other unrelated NYC content while I’m in town.
Keep your notifications on. This month’s going to be packed.
More on this at 5 PM, Bob— including what finally led to my decision and a recap of my year-long Diddy Files coverage (for anyone who needs a brush-up on the case).
