Combs was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Midtown Manhattan Monday night and he spent the night in federal custody, sources told ABC News.
Agnifilo said Combs has anticipated federal charges ever since the March raids on his homes in Florida and California.
Combs’ spirits are good, Agnifilo said, adding, “He’s dealing with this head on the way he has dealt with every challenge in his life.”
At Combs’ court appearance Tuesday, several of his children and his sister looked on from the gallery, as did attorneys for some of the victims who have filed civil lawsuits.
Assistant U.S. attorney Emily Johnson told the court Combs “is a serial abuser and a serial obstructor.”
Johnson said prosecutors have interviewed at least a dozen witnesses who could testify to seeing women injured as a result of violence Combs inflicted, Johnson said.
