• Jury selection for the trial is scheduled to start on May 5, with opening statements expected on May 12 in Manhattan federal court.
• Defense attorneys have submitted a proposed 72-question juror questionnaire, aiming to probe views on explicit content, violence, and media exposure related to Combs.
