Sean “Diddy” Combs Planning To “Blackmail” & Bribe Potential Witnesses In Sex Trafficking Case, Feds Say; Defense Cries Foul Over Seized Jailhouse Notes

deadline.com:

A suddenly called hearing tomorrow in incarcerated Sean “DIddy” Combs’ sex trafficking case could prove a vital inflection point for next year’s trial and a U.S.

Attorney’s office about to get a new boss. In a late November 15 filing, current U.S. Attorney Damian Williams revealed prosecutors had prison notes and recordings of the ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ singer allegedly “relentless efforts” to payoff potential witnesses, making non-permitted outside calls and trying to shut down other potential witnesses. “After the defendant was in custody, BOP (Bureau of Prisons) investigators recovered the …notes from the defendant’s cell during a pre-planned nationwide sweep of BOP facilities,” the feds insisted late last week (read it here), and assert that the material was gone through by an independent “Filter Team” and privileged information was reviewed.

Still, Combs’ defense team today are screaming Constitutional violations. “Defense counsel has recently learned that the prosecutors are in possession of attorney client privileged material, including the defendant’s own written notes,” defense attorneys Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos wrote to Judge Arun Subramanian early Monday (read the Combs’ defense letter here) of their infamous 55-year-old client, who faces life behind bars if found guilty in a trial set to start on  May 5, 2025.

After an explosive and quickly settled rape and abuse suit from ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura last year, and an every growing list of civil cases, Diddy was arrested on September 16 in the lobby of a New York City hotel.
