Diddy Fights Government Leaks in Federal Case

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is currently in federal custody, facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and related offenses, with his bail requests denied multiple times. His legal team has accused the government of leaking damaging evidence, including a 2016 video allegedly showing him assaulting ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, which they claim was leaked to CNN by federal agents. This leak is part of a broader claim of unlawful government leaks that could prejudice his right to a fair trial. Combs, who maintains his innocence, is pushing for a trial in spring 2025 and has requested a hearing to address these alleged leaks. The government has denied any misconduct, stating that the video was not obtained through the grand jury process. The case involves significant electronic evidence, described as 'voluminous' by prosecutors, and Combs' legal team continues to advocate for his release on bail, citing his willingness to undergo monitoring and post a substantial bail package.
