Sean “Diddy” Combs just expanded his legal team before his planned trial.

The quarreled music mogul has included a new lawyer named Xavier R. Donaldson before his trial of sex starts.

Donaldson is a lawyer based in New York who has filed a message of the appearance that he would be part of Combs’ defense team.

According to People Magazine, the legal representative has had its own practice since 2023 and has been working for 24 years at a company in New York.

In addition, he received his legal degree from Howard University, coincidentally studied the same institute Comb’s business from before dropping to pursue music.

Donaldson’s team would be led by Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos and also consists of Brian Steel, who has represented Young Thug during his Rico Law case in Georgia.

NEAMA RAHMANI, a lawyer in California not involved in the case told PEOPLE Magazine, “It is not uncommon to add lawyers in a long and complex case like this, even on the threshold of the trial.”

“Combs have almost unlimited money and the trial will last for weeks, so the defense may need the extra firepower. Some of the lawyers can also handle the appeal whose chambers are convicted and not the trial itself,” she added further.

For the un -emergency, Sean “Diddy” Combs, currently detained, is set to appear for trial on May 5 in Manhattan Federal Court due to charges of sex trade, racketing and transport to participate in prostitution.

If proven guilty, he could potentially serve the sentence of life imprisonment.
