Diddy's Legal Team Challenges Mann Act Conviction, Citing Prostitution Definition

Sean "Diddy" Combs, a famous music person, was found guilty of breaking an old law called the Mann Act.

This law says it's against the law to move people across state lines for bad things.

Diddy's lawyers say the law was used wrong.

They argue that the word "prostitution" has changed over time.

Back when the law was written, it might have meant something different.

Now, his lawyers are asking for a new trial or to have the guilty verdict taken away.

They're also talking about asking former President Trump to help.

If Diddy loses, he could go to prison for many years.
