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

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

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.

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.

March 2025 - Washington DC: Eduardo Bolsonaro, son of former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro, said he is taking a leave from his role as a congressman to live in the United States and to help to build international support for his father and their political group. Bolsonaro said he will work on developing international support to fight what he claims is called persecution against the Bolsonaro family, his father, their allies and supporters. Eduardo has been instrumental in the role of the family's foreign emissary, appearing in the U.S. at conservative political conferences which is where APB News caught up with him at CPAC just outside of Washington DC. Also, Congressman Bolsonaro said he would seek political asylum. His father is barred from running for office until 2030 and had his passport taken in February 2024 on the order of Brazil's top court.

Patrick Bet-David Reveals Bold Predictions for Iran & How to Defeat Tyranny at CPAC 2025!

February 2025 - National Harbor, MD: Big news to come from the recent CPAC 2025 conference outside of Washington DC saw Nigel Farage giving up formal control of his Reform UK party as he seeks to democratize its structure in an effort to win Britain's next general election. The strategic move advances Farage’s efforts to shape Reform as a credible and professional organization for power which creates a distinction between Farage’s past as the leader of the Brexit party and the UK Independence party, which were plagued by infighting and scandals. APB News caught up with the popular UK politician where he defended Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky against Donald Trump's recent criticism, stating that the Ukrainian leader "is not a dictator." @ReformUKOfficial @NigelFarageOfficial​

Nigel Farage Drops Bombshell on British Politics! Could He Be the Next UK Prime Minister?

February 2025, National Harbor , MD: The benchmark S&P Merval traded lower Monday after lawyers filed charges against Argentina's leader over his involvement in the LIBRA token launch. At the Conservative Political Action Conference,, Argentinian President Javier Milei took center stage, delivering a fiery speech that electrified the crowd. Preaching the values of free markets and individual liberties, Milei rallied against government overreach, echoing his campaign’s promise to dismantle Argentina’s bloated bureaucracy. And in a moment that quickly went viral, Milei gifted tech mogul Elon Musk a chainsaw - his now-iconic symbol of slashing government waste. The billionaire entrepreneur, a vocal supporter of free speech and deregulation, seemed amused by the gesture. But while Milei was riding high on the global stage, controversy was brewing back home with newspaper headlines claiming “Milei Linked to Crypto Rug Pull?” “Meme Coin Scandal Shakes Argentina” Reports surfaced linking Milei to a cryptocurrency scandal - a so-called "rug pull" involving a meme coin that left investors empty-handed. Allegations suggest that high-profile figures within his circle promoted the digital asset before its sudden collapse, leading to accusations of financial misconduct. For a leader who champions free markets, the irony of a potential financial scheme has raised eyebrows. Milei has denied any wrongdoing, but critics argue that the scandal threatens his credibility just as he attempts to reshape Argentina’s economic future. From CPAC’s roaring applause to the storm of controversy, Javier Milei’s political brand remains as unpredictable as ever. But one thing is certain - whether wielding a chainsaw or battling allegations, he’s determined to shake up the system. @CPACplus @BAHeraldcom #cryptocurrency #memecoin #argentina
