July 10, 2025 - Washington DC & Brasilia, Brazil: This week, U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on all Brazilian imports, effective August 1st. He cited Brazil’s prosecution of former President Jair Bolsonaro, labeling it a "witch hunt" and an "insidious attack" on free speech and election integrity. Brazilian President Lula immediately summoned the U.S. chargé d’affaires, denouncing Trump’s demand to drop the trial and reaffirming Brazil’s independent institutions. Lula called Trump’s letter "offensive" and warned of reciprocal counter-tariffs. This action follows Eduardo Bolsonaro's temporary resignation from Congress in March 2025 and his move to the U.S. to lobby for political asylum and pressure Brazil’s judiciary - specifically Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes. His goal, he told APB News earlier this year, is to rally U.S. officials to sanction de Moraes and promote clemency for those involved in the January 8th riots in Brasília. Brazil is the U.S.’s second-largest trading partner, exporting around $40 to $50 billion annually, including coffee, orange juice, steel, and iron. The announcement caused Brazil’s real to fall over 2% and sparked broader market uncertainty.

A week after his partial conviction, APB News dives into what's next for Sean "Diddy" Combs. Judge Arun Subramanian denied bail, citing Diddy as a flight risk and potential danger, especially given past allegations of violence. With sentencing scheduled for October 3rd, the Probation Office is preparing a pre-sentencing report. While Diddy's team hopes for a lighter sentence, prosecutors are pushing for 4-5 years per count, and legal experts believe a lenient outcome is unlikely. Learn about his planned appeal, the possibility of a presidential pardon, and the 50+ civil lawsuits still pending against him.

Diddy's Fate: What's Next After Conviction?

It's been one week since Sean "Diddy" Combs' partial conviction on two counts of transportation for prostitution under the Mann Act. APB News brings you the latest on his legal future. Judge Arun Subramanian firmly denied bail, citing Diddy as a significant flight risk and a potential danger, a decision reinforced by past allegations of violence including the infamous hotel incident. Sentencing is now officially set for Friday, October 3rd, 2025, a date confirmed after earlier discussions about moving it up. The Probation Office is currently compiling a crucial pre-sentencing report, which will play a major role in the judge's final decision. Legal experts highlight that aggravating factors, such as documented violent behaviors, are likely to influence the severity of the sentence. While Diddy's defense team is pushing for leniency, aiming for a term of 21 to 27 months including time served, prosecutors are advocating for a much harsher 4-5 years per count. Most legal analysts agree that a lighter sentence is highly improbable given the nature of the conviction. Beyond the federal case, Combs' legal team is preparing to appeal the conviction, and there's growing speculation about a potential presidential pardon. It's also important to note that Diddy still faces over 50 civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct. These are entirely separate from his criminal case and are expected to proceed regardless of his sentencing outcome. For now, Sean Combs remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, awaiting his fate. #Diddy #SeanCombs #DiddyConviction #MannAct #LegalUpdate #CourtCase #Sentencing #BailDenied #CelebrityNews #APBNews #JusticeSystem #TrueCrime #HollywoodScandal #MDCBrooklyn 2:04

Where was the Hip Hop community? Not at the courthouse to support Diddy for the jury’s verdict.

The verdict is in for Sean "Diddy" Combs, but a major question hung over the courthouse: Where was the Hip Hop community? On the day the jury decided Diddy's fate after 14 hours of deliberation, mainstream Hip Hop support was conspicuously absent. APB News was on the ground with multiple camera teams, speaking with Diddy's best friend of 35 years, Charlucci Finney, who addressed the lack of music world presence. While federal prosecutors failed to prove Combs was a sex trafficker or ran an international criminal organization (the RICO charge did not stick), Diddy was convicted on two prostitution charges, each carrying a potential sentence of up to ten years. In a significant courtroom development, the judge denied bail for the 55-year-old music mogul, ordering him to remain in detention at the Brooklyn Federal facility. Possible sentencing is slated for Friday, October 3rd. Throughout the intense day, APB's cameras captured movements from Sean Combs' family, including his 85-year-old mother, Janice, who maintained an optimistic outlook. Defense attorney Mark Geragos stated the verdict exonerates him from over 80 civil lawsuits. However, veteran legal experts caution that many of those lawsuits are still considered valid and are expected to play out over the coming years. #Diddy #SeanCombs #HipHopNews #CourtCase #Verdict #RICO #NYC #Justice #MusicMogul #CelebrityNews 2:44

Thursday June 19th, A peaceful protest took place outside the Iranian Mission to the United Nations, where demonstrators gathered in a pro-Israel, anti-Islamic regime demonstration aimed at raising awareness about the brutality and oppression carried out by Iran’s ruling government. Former New York State Assemblyman Dov Hikind delivered remarks condemning the regime’s actions and voicing support for the Iranian people’s struggle for freedom. Protesters chanted “No nukes for Iran,” emphasizing concerns over Iran’s nuclear ambitions. One demonstrator stood out, proudly waving an Israeli flag while wearing a #FreeIran outfit—a symbolic fusion of solidarity between those oppressed by the regime and those who stand for democracy. The protest was marked by the visual unity of Israeli and American flags, underscoring the shared democratic values and commitment to human rights that bind the two nations. 1:00

Tuesday, June 17, 2025 - Lower Manhattan - New York City comptroller and Democratic mayoral candidate Brad Lander was arrested by federal agents at an immigration court after he linked arms with a person that authorities were attempting to detain. The person Lander was walking out of the courtroom was also arrested. Lander had spent the morning observing immigration court hearings and told reporters that he was there to “accompany” some immigrants out of the building after their hearings. Lander’s detainment comes a little more than a month after Newark, New Jersey, Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested on a trespassing charge outside a federal immigration detention center in Newark. The charge was later dropped by interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba, and Baraka’s fellow Democrat, Rep. LaMonica McIver, was charged with assaulting and impeding federal agents stemming from her role at the same visit as the mayor. A federal indictment charges she grabbed, pushed and blocked officers from arresting the mayor. She’s denied the charges and said she plans to fight it. Baraka has since filed a federal lawsuit against Habba alleging false arrest and malicious prosecution. A spokesperson for the FBI deferred comment to the Department of Homeland Security, which did not respond to the media's inquiry.

June 2025 - Washington DC: While thousands of people came to the nation’s capital to celebrate the U.S. Army’s 250th birthday, the big news was that the Army has met its active duty recruiting goal for 2025, marking the earliest the service has reached its annual enlistment target in more than a decade. The Army surpassed 61,000 future soldier contracts, four months before the end of the fiscal year, marking the second consecutive year that the service has reached its target for new enlistment after it had failed to meet its goals in 2022 and 2023. U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll credited the service’s 10,000 or so recruiters for their “colossal efforts” to improve the service’s recruiting wing in recent years and sign up some 10% more young Americans to join the Army so far this year than last year when it achieved its 55,000-recruit target just before the fiscal year’s end… The Army secretary said Tuesday that hitting the goal so early showed the service’s recruiting challenges were “behind us.” APB News was invited by the America 250th Commission to spend time with the Army leadership and witness the parade. The Army, and most of the other military services, have struggled in recent years to meet their recruiting goals, at least in part because of a shrinking pool of eligible candidates. The Pentagon in recent years has estimated only some 23% of young Americans between the ages of 17 and 24 meet the basic education, fitness and moral criteria to serve. Among those qualified, only about 9% have shown interest in the military in recent years, according to Pentagon data. Amid its struggles in recent years, the Army has launched new programs to bolster its recruiting apparatus and raised its recruiting commander from a two-star general to a three-star. It also opened a new pathway to enlistment for Army hopefuls who initially fall short of meeting the service’s enlistment standards. Before the parade activities started, more than a dozen Army teams competed in a CrossFit-style competition, showcasing their strength, speed and stamina. The core message from the competition was to demonstrate to the public the level of teamwork that is required of its service members, as these exact fitness exercises are conducted regularly to teach soldiers how to keep mission-focused under pressure. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll congratulated the 3rd Infantry Division soldiers after they won the Army’s fitness contest all as part of the service’s 250th birthday festival on the National Mall in Washington. 3:30

U.S. ARMY CELEBRATES 250 YEARS AND REACHES RECRUITMENT GOALS

Monday, May 26, 2025 - Queens NY: An emotionally disturbed man was tracked down by subway riders who saw him exposing himself to young children on the N train on Monday night. The incident happened shortly before 9 PM as a group of passengers followed the man down the stairs from the subway on 31st Street where they saw him go into a TJ Maxx store. When he tried to exit a group of men blocked the door so he couldn't leave. People complained it took more than ten minutes for police from the 114 precinct to respond to the 911 call for help. Police eventually put the man in an ambulance. There has been an increase in violence and shoplifting throughout the broughs particularly in Queens. Governor Kathy Hochul claims reported gun violence across New York State has continued to decline, reaching the lowest level since the state began tracking this data in 2006. New statistics released by the State Division of Criminal Justice Services show a 15 percent decline in shooting victims and a 9 percent drop in shooting incidents with injury from January 1, 2025, through April 30, 2025, compared to the same period last year, in communities participating in the State’s Gun Involved Violence Elimination initiative. Analysts are quick to state that the numbers are down from extreme highs over the past seven years so it's illusionary. 1:50
