A lawyer for Sean ‘Diddy’ Coombs has blamed racism for his client’s downfall as he awaits trial on sex trafficking charges rom a New York prison cell.

Attorney Marc Agnifilo, featured in the documentary TMZ Presents: The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment, claims that the federal government specifically targeted rapper because of his race.

“[The government] is no friend historically of the successful Black man, okay, none,” Agnifilio said. “And they start making this case, in my opinion, as a takedown of a successful Black man.”

“This is the government scrutinizing his business, scrutinizing his taxes, he does everything right,” he continued. ‘What’s the last vestige, we are going to go into his bedroom because maybe we don’t like the way he is having sex.”

Diddy is facing charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals for prostitution. In the Justice Department’s indictment, he is accused of organizing events where women were coerced into drug-fueled sexual activities.

Allegations also include kidnapping, physical abuse, and bribery, as well as abuse against minors. Diddy has denied all charges and has pledged to prove his innocence.

Agnifilio added that Diddy wants “to fight this case not just for himself, but for others in a similar position who are also facing government persecution.”

“I don’t know that I could keep him off the stand,” he continued. “I think he is very eager to tell his story. And I think he will tell every part of his story.”

Federal agents reportedly seized 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant during raids on Diddy's homes in Miami and Los Angeles earlier this year.

Marc Agnifilo has dismissed the claim, explaining that the artist simply likes to purchase in bulk. "I don't think it was 1,000," he told The New York Post. "I think it was a lot. I mean, there is a Costco right down the street. I think Americans buy in bulk, as we know."

Despite protesting his innocence, the 54-year-old is said to be on suicide watch as he stares down the possibility of decades, if not the rest of his life in prison.

A Pittsburgh area restaurant chain that stirred up controversy last month by abruptly kicking patrons out in order to host Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is back in the news–this time for barring J.D. Vance from entering one of their shops to greet Trump supporters. (UPDATE at end of article.)

Primanti Bros made headlines in August for clearing their Moon Township restaurant so the Harris campaign could stage a group of supporters to meet the Democrat presidential and vice presidential nominees, Fox News reported last month (excerpt):

Patrons at a Pittsburgh culinary landmark were outraged Monday after they claimed they were forced to leave the premises before Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz arrived for a weekend campaign stop.

Several people who had been enjoying food, drinks and the Pittsburgh Pirates game on TV at Primanti Bros. in Moon, Pennsylvania, on Sunday said they were all forced out of the restaurant promptly at 4 p.m.

…”Around 3:30, the bartender, she goes, ‘It’s last call’ – what do you mean last call?” Dodson said, adding the employee informed him there was a private event at the top of the hour.

The Trump campaign posted video of supporters jeering the fake campaign stop by Harris:

Trump running mate Ohio Senator J.D. Vance went to a Primanti Bros restaurant outside of Pittsburgh in North Versailles Sunday afternoon to greet Trump supporters. One patron posted a video saying the restaurant threatened to call the police on Vance (the poster later added the restaurant denies making a threat to call police while other patrons say they did):

Happening now: Primanti brothers in North Versailles PA just threatened to call the police on JD Vance if he got out of the car to spend time with about 50 people who came out to see him. The video is from a friend of mine who was there.

Zappala posted video of Vance outside speaking about how he handled the situation (like a gentleman):

“We paid for everybody’s food. We gave ’em a nice tip. And of course, when I gave ’em a nice tip, I said, ‘No taxes on tips.’ It’s alright. Don’t hold it against her. She just got a little nervous. But it’s a great local business. Let’s keep on supporting it and most importantly, November 5th or before, go vote. Let’s go win this…”

C-SPAN’s Howard Mortman posted video from outside the restaurant Vance did a meet and greet line with supporters. The Trump campaign took names and phone numbers of supporters to invite them to a make-up event:

NBC News reporter Doug Adams said the restaurant did not want to be part of a campaign event, “JD Vance intended to make a stop at a Primanti Bros near Pittsburgh… but when they got there, the campaign was told no cams & restaurant didn’t want to be part of a “campaign event” Vance ended up shaking hands outside in parking lot. He has event in Monroeville, PA this aftn”

Tampon Tim Walz attended the Michigan football game against the Minnesota Gophers in Ann Arbor, Michigan on Saturday.

Michigan fans stood out in the rain to boo the freakishly weird Minnesota governor.

When his entourage pulled up to the game the Michigan fans booed and told him to, “Get out of here!”

Like his running mate, Kamala Harris, Tampon Tim has no support.

Real Americans do not want the violence and communism they’re selling. It’s that simple.

Kari Lake, the Trump-Endorsed Republican Nominee for Senate in Arizona, is set to square off against the leftist propaganda media in Arizona this afternoon at 4 pm MST during a press conference in response to Kamala Harris visiting the border Friday.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Harris toured the border wall for just enough time to take photos. During remarks at Cochise College, she claimed that, as President, she would “do more to secure our border” after creating the worst border crisis in history.

WHAT A JOKE! Kamala Harris Claims She Will Finally Secure The Border if She Wins: “Our System Must be Orderly and Secure” (VIDEO)

This press conference and Kamala's border photo-op come right on the heels of a bombshell new ICE report, revealing that under Biden and Kamala Harris, over 13,000 murderers, 15,000 rapists, and 425,000 convicted criminal illegal aliens roam free in our country, taking over American towns and jobs. 226,000 more aliens face pending criminal charges.

Additionally, an August report from the Homeland Security Office of the Inspector General admits that over 320,000 unaccompanied migrant children were lost track of and “are considered at higher risk for trafficking, exploitation, or forced labor.” 291,000 of these missing children were never issued Notices to Appear in court or placed into removal proceedings. 32,000 children failed to appear on their court dates and are now missing. "They're either dead, being sold into sex slavery, or just plain missing," President Trump said during a press conference on Thursday.

However, Kamala Harris, the Democrats, and their leftist media cronies blame Trump for the wide open border and criminals they've let into the country, claiming he "tanked" the so-called border security bill that Harris and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer backed, which would give amnesty to illegals and still allow millions to cross the border each year.

If the Democrats had any intention of securing our southern border, Joe Biden and Harris could immediately sign an executive order into law. Kari Lake's Democratic Senate opponent, Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), has also voted 100% of the time with Biden, Harris, and the Democrats on the immigration issue.

The reason they want open borders is clear. As The Gateway Pundit recently reported, non-citizens and illegal aliens in Phoenix, Arizona, admitted to being registered to vote in an undercover video posted by the Oversight Project. They further expressed interest in voting for Kamala Harris.

The Gateway Pundit readers can expect Lake to, once again, demolish and correct the mainstream media nutcases who pretend that the border is secure and that Republicans are the problem.

Ahead of today's press conference, Kari Lake provided the following statement to The Gateway Pundit:

She’s a complete disgrace. She came to the border for 20 minutes and stared down at her feet while walking along the wall that she is opposed to so that she and her buddies in the fake news could say that she visited the border.

I’m surprised she didn’t call Joe Biden while she was there and say, “We did it, Joe; we destroyed America,” because that’s exactly what their policies on the border have done. 425,000 convicted criminals are roaming our streets, and Americans are being murdered, raped, and bludgeoned to death by criminals who have poured into our country illegally under her administration—including prisoners who have been let out of foreign prisons and sent to our country and crazed lunatics who have been let out of foreign insane asylums and shipped over to America.

And Kamala’s favorite buddy Congressman Ruben Gallego has voted with her dangerous and deadly agenda 100% of the time. Americans need to wake up and vote Trump and Lake in November to save this great country. We will put border security first and restore safe streets and a strong economy once again for the American people.

The months-long space saga of astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams has had another chapter, as their ride is on its way to the International Space Station to, in time, finally bring them back to Earth.

SpaceX launched today (28) the rescue mission for the two stuck test pilots at the International Space Station, sending up a downsized crew to finally bring them home next year.

Wilmore and Williams flew into space in the trouble-plagued  Boeing Starliner, a spacecraft that returned to Earth empty earlier this month because of safety concerns.

It is now up to NASA’s Nick Hague and Russia’s Alexander Gorbunov to retrieve the pair.

Associated Press reported:

“Because NASA rotates space station crews approximately every six months, this newly launched flight with two empty seats reserved for Wilmore and Williams won’t return until late February. Officials said there wasn’t a way to bring them back earlier on SpaceX without interrupting other scheduled missions.

By the time they return, the pair will have logged more than eight months in space. They expected to be gone just a week when they signed up for Boeing’s first astronaut flight that launched in June.”

Boeing’s Starliner was deemed too risky after a number of thruster troubles and helium leaks impaired its mission.

NASA had to cut two astronauts from this SpaceX launch to make room on the Dragon capsule’s for Wilmore and Williams on the return to Earth.

“Wilmore and Williams watched the liftoff via a live link sent to the space station, prompting a cheer of ‘Go Dragon!’ from Williams, NASA deputy program manager Dina Contella said.”

In the meantime, Williams – in her ‘happy place’ – was promoted to commander of the space station.

Once Hague and Gorbunov arrive on the Space Station tomorrow (29), four astronauts staying there since March can leave in their own SpaceX capsule.

“Rookie NASA astronaut Zena Cardman and veteran space flier Stephanie Wilson were pulled from this flight after NASA opted to go with SpaceX to bring the stuck astronauts home. Promised a future space mission, both were at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, taking part in the launch livestream. Gorbunov remained on the flight under an exchange agreement between NASA and the Russian Space Agency.”

Hague spoke about the challenges of launching with a diminished crew and returning with two astronauts trained on another spacecraft.

“’We’ve got a dynamic challenge ahead of us’, Hague said after arriving from Houston last weekend. ‘We know each other and we’re professionals and we step up and do what’s asked of us’.”
