During Thursday's hearing, Judge Subramanian - who took on the case last week after previous judge Andrew L. Carter Jr. stepped down - also decided that prosecutors must submit their evidence to the defense by the end of this year.

Prosecutor Emily Johnson said the U.S. attorney’s office is currently analyzing 100 electronic devices found at the rapper's Los Angeles and Miami homes.

The hearing came just one day after Combs' attorneys filed a case against the Department of Homeland Security, claiming agents unlawfully leaked information.

This included a video from 2016 showing Combs beating his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in the hallway of a Los Angeles hotel.

Attorneys believed DHS was attempting to savage the rapper's reputation before his upcoming trial.

The indictment claimed Combs frequently resorted to threats, intimidation, and abuse to compel victims into various sexual activities.

However, two judges have already determined that the rapper poses a danger to the community if released.

A judge denied a $50 million bail proposal - which included home detention and electronic monitoring - during a bail hearing three weeks ago.

Combs' sex trafficking case has led to other accusations, including a possible involvement in rapper Tupac Shakur's death.

Another resurfaced video showed the music mogul pointing a prop gun at Tyler the Creator before firing it into the air, causing concern.
