- Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs assault video was not leaked, prosecutors say (newsbreak.com)
Prosecutors in a recent court filing deny leaking a video of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ alleged assault of an ex-girlfriend to CNN. They claim they did not possess the video at the time of CNN’s publication.
Combs’ defense team alleges the video was leaked by federal agents, arguing it could hinder his fair trial. However, prosecutors maintain the video was obtained independently by a media outlet.
Prosecutors also oppose Combs’ request for the release of his accusers’ identities. They argue that early witness disclosure could compromise witness safety and obstruct justice.
Prosecutors believe Combs is using the criminal proceedings to defend against civil lawsuits filed by anonymous accusers. They note that a judge has recently denied a request for anonymity in one such civil case.
