Prosecutors Deny Leaking Sean "Diddy" Combs Assault Video, Seek to Block Evidentiary Hearing

Prosecutors Deny Leaking Sean "Diddy" Combs Assault Video, Seek to Block Evidentiary Hearing

Federal prosecutors have refuted claims by Sean "Diddy" Combs’ legal team that a video showing him allegedly assaulting a former girlfriend was leaked to CNN by government agents. The recent filing, submitted overnight, aims to clarify that prosecutors were never in possession of the video and urges the court to reject Combs' motion for an evidentiary hearing.

“The defendant argues baselessly that a video depicting the defendant's assault of a victim at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles on March 5, 2016 was provided to a media outlet by Government agents,” prosecutors wrote in the filing. Combs' legal team has suggested that the video, released publicly in May 2024, may have been leaked by federal prosecutors. However, prosecutors maintained that the video was not part of their evidence at the time CNN published it and was never obtained through grand jury proceedings.

“Without any factual basis, the Leak Motion seeks to suppress highly probative evidence—a video of Combs brutally physically assaulting a victim in March 2016 that was published by a media outlet in May 2024—by claiming that it was grand jury material leaked by Government agents to CNN,” the filing continued. “But, as the defendant is fully aware, the video was not in the Government's possession at the time of CNN's publication, and the Government has never, at any point, obtained the video through grand jury process.”

Combs, who appeared in federal court earlier in October, has sought to argue that alleged leaks could hinder his ability to receive a fair trial. Defense attorneys have called for an evidentiary hearing to address their claims, which prosecutors have dismissed as an attempt to avoid dealing with "damning" evidence against him.

In addition to urging the court to deny Combs’ motion for a hearing, prosecutors are also opposing his request for the early disclosure of his accusers' identities. “The defendant's request for victim names should be denied on the basis that it is tantamount to a request for early disclosure of the Government's witness list, something he is clearly not entitled to at this extremely early stage of the proceedings,” the prosecutors stated. They emphasized that early disclosure would pose risks to witness safety and could open the door to potential obstruction.

Prosecutors have accused Combs of leveraging the criminal case to defend against civil litigation brought by anonymous accusers, describing his tactics as an attempt to “co-opt this criminal proceeding to defend against civil litigation.” A federal judge recently denied one plaintiff’s request to proceed under a pseudonym in a related civil case, underscoring a “presumption of openness in judicial proceedings.”

As Combs’ defense continues to press for transparency and evidentiary hearings, prosecutors have countered with firm denials of any misconduct. The case now awaits further review, as legal teams on both sides prepare for the next stage in the proceedings.

Diddy's Mom Seems To Be Ready To Go Down With The Ship

Diddy's Mom Seems To Be Ready To Go Down With The Ship

Can a mother’s love really be that blind? Jennifer Coffindaffer dives into the latest on Diddy’s mother’s response to the explosive allegations facing her son. Through his attorneys, Diddy’s mom released a statement defending him, calling it all a “public lynching,” and standing by him despite the disturbing accusations. But was this statement truly her own? Or is Diddy controlling the narrative, even through his own family? Coffindaffer questions the optics of this family unity, especially when it comes with flashy courtroom fashion choices that seem more suited for the VMAs. She dissects the surreal, almost bizarre justifications put forward by the defense, painting Diddy’s alleged actions as consensual escapades. But could Diddy’s mom genuinely be unaware of the alleged hedonism that’s been tied to his name, or is she willingly turning a blind eye for the sake of loyalty, fame, and the benefits that come with it? Are we witnessing a mother’s unwavering support, or is this a case of “see no evil” when it’s most convenient? #Diddy #TrueCrime #JenniferCoffindaffer #HiddenKillers #Cassie #FamilyLoyalty #PublicLynching Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
