Prosecutors have updated Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal indictment to include accounts from two additional alleged victims, Us Weekly can confirm.

On Thursday, January 30, prosecutors filed an expanded indictment against the music mogul, 55, in which two additional women alleged that they were “coerced into commercial sex acts and of dangling a woman over an apartment balcony.”

These new charges are part of the indictment against Diddy that was returned by a grand jury on Thursday, according to documents filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan.

Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told Us in a statement that the “latest indictment contains no new offenses.”

Diddy Indictment Unsealed as He's Charged With Sex Trafficking, Racketeering

“The prosecution’s theory remains flawed,” the lawyer alleged. “The government has added the ridiculous theory that two of Mr. Combs’ former girlfriends were not girlfriends at all but were prostitutes. Mr. Combs is as committed as ever to fighting these charges and winning at trial.”

Diddy was arrested in September 2024 and indicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He is also facing more than 30 civil lawsuits from alleged victims of sexual assault and misconduct. Diddy has maintained his innocence while behind bars.

The new indictment, obtained by Us, does not add any additional charges to Diddy’s case, but it does add accounts from two alleged victims that could strengthen the prosecutors claims regarding the accusations of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Diddy Pleads Not Guilty Following Arrest and Unsealed Indictment

Instead of the initial “Victim-1” account — which closely resembles Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura’s previous lawsuit against Diddy — listed in the indictment there are now “Victim-2” and “Victim-3” accounts in the filing. (Cassie, 38, settled a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend outside of court in fall 2023 after she accused him of sexual assault and battery. Diddy denied the allegations.)

Prosecutors accused Diddy in Thursday’s indictment of providing his alleged victims “with, among other things, monetary payments, career opportunities, and payment of rent and housing expenses” to keep them in line.

Diddy allegedly “used force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims, including but not limited to three female victims” to engage in commercial sex acts,” the filing claimed.

Diddy’s lawyers, meanwhile, have claimed that the sexual encounters outlined in the court documents were consensual.

The indictment also extended the period of the alleged racketeering conspiracy back to 2004 instead of 2008.

Per the filing, Diddy’s employees and associates allegedly helped conceal violence and abuse and engage in sex trafficking, arson and multiple acts of kidnapping. The indictment lists a new allegation of kidnapping in New York where prosecutors claim that Diddy carried and displayed a firearm and a kidnapping in California.

The expanded indictment added allegations of distribution or the intent to distribute methamphetamine and psilocin, a hallucinogen. Prosecutors initially accused Diddy of several drug offenses, including distribution or intent to distribute cocaine, oxycodone and ketamine.

Diddy’s trial is set to begin in May.

Heather Rae El Moussa is onboard with her former Selling Sunset costars appearing on The Flip Off.

“I think any of them would love it,” El Moussa, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly during the Tuesday, January 28, press junket for The Flip Off. “I mean, they get to now see me in a completely different business. I was doing high end real estate and now I’m flipping houses. I think they’re so proud of me.”

On The Flip Off, Heather and her husband, Tarek El Moussa, go head to head with his ex-wife, Christina Haack, as they work on chosen properties and receive feedback from guest judges. Before the show aired, it was revealed that Heather Dubrow, Haack’s ex-husband Ant Anstead, Jeff Lewis and Heather’s former Selling Sunset costar Amanza Smith were scheduled to make appearances.

“It was fun for her to come in and see what I’m doing and what I’ve learned and the transformations that I’m doing with our flips,” Heather gushed of having Smith, 48, on the show. “She was so excited.”

As for other Selling Sunset costars, Heather suggested Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet and Chrishell Stause, who she said “all have such great eyes” and “know me so well.”

Haack, for her part, had a different former costar of Heather’s in mind. “I pitched Christine [Quinn],” Haack, 41, said, to which Tarek, 43, replied, “Oh, God.” (Heather exclusively told Us in September 2021 that she and Quinn had “not had a close friendship for over a year now.” Quinn, 36, left the Netflix show and the brokerage in April 2022.)

“You would be in big trouble,” Heather said, to which Haack admitted, “I don’t like her either!” Tarek added, “No, you don’t even know.”

Haack admitted that she handpicked judges “to mess” with Tarek. (In each episode, Haack alternates choosing judges with Heather and Tarek for their challenges.)

“I was like, ‘Oh, I know who I should pick. Oh, it’s perfect. I don’t like her either. Christine,’” Haack said. “I was like, ‘Oh, my God. Imagine the drama.’ I’m just trying to make good TV.”

Haack began laughing as Heather looked shocked by her admission. “Really, not for good ratings?” Haack asked with a laugh, to which Tarek replied, “God, no. I’d rather move to Mars.”

While Heather had a few hesitations about filming the show with Tarek’s ex-wife, she exclusively told Us in a cover story earlier this month that it wasn’t weird to work together. Haack, for her part, feels the same way. (Heather and Tarek tied the knot in 2021 and share son Tristan, 23 months.)

“There have been so many times throughout all of this that I’m like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe we did that,’” Haack said. “I’m proud of all of us.”

The Flip Off airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on HGTV.

A nonprofit group tied to House Democratic leadership is already planning an ad slamming the Trump administration's funding freeze, Axios has learned.

Why it matters: House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), viewing the days-long battle over the freeze as a win for Democrats, has been urging his members to press their advantage and keep hammering the topic.

• The Office of Management and Budget on Wednesday rescinded an earlier memo freezing federal grants, loans and other financial assistance, though the White House said parts of the freeze remain in force.
• The initial memo led to widespread confusion and locked some states out of a federal Medicaid portal.

Driving the news: House Majority Forward, an issue advocacy group closely aligned with Jeffries, is running an ad called "Real Steal" on national cable Monday — including "Fox & Friends" — backed up by a five-figure ad buy.

• The ad accuses Trump and congressional Republicans of causing "chaos, confusion across the country" and cutting funds for healthcare, police and fire departments, and pre-K centers.
• "Trump's grabbing that money to pay back his billionaires with more tax cuts," the ad says. "It's … The Real Steal."

Between the lines: The ad — part of HMF's $10 million "economic accountability" campaign — is a clear signal the short-lived OMB memo will play a prominent role in Democrats' political messaging.

• Jeffries and his messaging arm have encouraged lawmakers to hold events on the freeze and highlight the impact it had on their constituents.

The other side: "President Trump and Republicans hit the ground running, delivering for the American people," said Torunn Sinclair, a spokesperson for the House Republican-aligned Congressional Leadership Fund.

• "Democrats are spewing lies — it's sad and pathetic. They've learned nothing from the 2024 election," Sinclair said.
• A senior White House official said in a statement to Axios: "The American people sent President Trump back to the White House to end the massive waste, fraud and abuse of their hard-earned taxpayer dollars."
• "No amount of fearmongering and falsehoods in this baseless ad will change the excitement the American people feel now that we have true leadership here in the White House," the official said.

• Watch group Swatch saw its sales decline by more than 12% and its profits by 75% in 2024.
• It attributed its weak results to a "persistently difficult market situation" in China.
• 2024 was a bad year for luxury brands, from LVMH and Kering to Champagne producers.

Swatch reported weak sales and a major slump in operating profits in 2024, owing largely to weak demand from Chinese consumers.

The luxury watch group, which owns watch big league brands like Omega, Tissot, and Longines, saw its sales decline 12% and its profits drop about 75% last year.

In the earnings press release published on Thursday, the group posted net sales of 6.7 billion francs, or $7.4 billion. This was a 12.2% decline from 2023 when it earned 7.9 billion francs.

Its operating profit dropped about 75% from about 1.2 billion francs in 2023 to 304 million francs in 2024.

The group attributed the results to a "persistently difficult market situation and weak demand for consumer goods overall in China."

Swatch's press release said sales in China, including Hong Kong and Macau, slid around 30% in 2024.

It also added that there was a "huge drop in demand for consumer goods" in Southeast Asian markets, which it said are "heavily dependent on Chinese tourists."

However, it reported stronger sales in other key markets, such as the US, Japan, India, and the Middle East. It said that in the US, Tissot sales exceeded $100 million for the first time.

Overall, luxury Swiss watchmakers struggled with weak demand in 2024. In September, Bloomberg reported that Girard-Perregaux and Ulysse Nardin, Swiss luxury watch brands owned by Sowind Group, turned to the government for financial support to cope with low demand.

Meanwhile, the Rolex resale market has also been cooling for more than two years after its COVID-era high, owing partly to a surge of watches coming into the market.

A bad year for luxury goods

Watches are not the only luxury products impacted by waning demand in China.

In 2024, overall luxury spending stagnated, and big brands saw their share prices drop. Kering, the owner of Gucci, YSL, and Balenciaga, saw its stock fall more than 40% last year.

And luxury conglomerate LVMH's sales declined by 3% in the third quarter of 2024, partly because of weakened consumer confidence in China.

Representatives for Swatch did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider, sent outside regular business hours.

The Trump administration has told top officials at the FBI to resign or lose their jobs, Fox News has learned. 

The exact number has not been disclosed, but the ultimatum was allegedly given to senior employees promoted under former director, Christopher A. Wray.

President Donald Trump’s administration took these steps as his nominee to lead the bureau, Kash Patel, said he would not begin his tenure with retribution or focus on past transgressions. 

"I have no interest, no desire and will not, if confirmed, go backwards. There will be no politicization at the FBI. There will be no retributive actions taken," Patel said at the Senate Judiciary Committee.

MAJOR FBI CHANGES KASH PATEL COULD MAKE ON DAY 1 IF CONFIRMED AS DIRECTOR

According to reporting from The New York Times, an email to colleagues from one of the senior agents outlined that he had learned he would be dismissed "from the rolls of the F.B.I." as soon as Monday morning.

"I was given no rationale for this decision, which, as you might imagine, has come as a shock," he wrote.

During the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Patel said he is unaware of any plans of retribution by the Trump administration.

"Are you aware of any plans or discussions to punish in any way, including termination, FBI agents or personnel associated with Trump investigations?" asked Democratic Sen. Cory Booker.

"I am not aware of that, senator," Patel replied.

Although Patel has been nominated, a director has not been officially confirmed to take charge, so the news of the ultimatum was alarming for those involved.

Until the vote comes to a close, Brian Driscoll remains the bureau’s acting director.

The FBI declined to comment when reached by Fox News.
