A federal judge on Friday denied Sean “Diddy” Combs’ bid to delay his sex trafficking trial by two months.
Combs’ attorneys had asked U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian in a letter Wednesday for a two-month adjournment to better prepare a defense. Marc Agnifilo, one of Combs’ attorneys, had suggested at a hearing Monday that they would seek a two-week delay.
In denying the delay, Subramanian said that Combs has at least four attorneys and that he would not allow a “fishing expedition” to seek more evidence.

The matter was among a series of motions Subramanian ruled on Friday during a two-hour hearing. He also rejected a defense motion to dismiss counts three and five, which relate to transportation to engage in prostitution.
