Sean “Diddy” Combs’ attorneys have asked a judge to allow prospective jurors at his upcoming federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial to be questioned about their views on drug and alcohol abuse, sex and violence, as well as their opinions of “people with multiple sexual partners.”
In a letter sent Friday to U.S. District Court Judge Arun Subramanian, who is overseeing the case, Combs’ attorneys wrote that they had met with federal prosecutors and discussed their respective potential juror questionnaires but could not come to an agreement.
Subramanian had given both sides until Friday to file their proposed questionnaires and told them the questions would be distributed to prospective jurors at the end of this month with jury selection beginning May 5 in Manhattan federal court. Opening statements are scheduled to begin May 12.

Combs has pleaded not guilty to all the allegations and charges. He appeared in court Monday to plead not guilty to two filed this month — an additional charge each of sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
