Sean “Diddy” Combs pleaded not guilty to two new federal charges in a superseding indictment filed in New York this month, weeks before the disgraced hip-hop mogul is set to stand trial on his sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges, which he has denied. (Here is a complete list of the allegations against Combs.)

Sean Combs formally asked the judge overseeing his criminal prosecution to exclude a March 2016 video depicting Combs kicking and dragging then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.

Combs, who was not handcuffed, stood with his lawyers as the presiding judge queried whether Combs had read the charges, discussed them with his lawyers and understood them.
