Sean “Diddy” Combs is fighting to stay out of prison for the rest of his life if found guilty on sex trafficking and other charges.

To that end, with a trial set to start May 5, the much-accused and currently incarcerated performer/producer and his defense team have been tossing one legal grenade after another to blow up the feds’ case.

Now Combs’ crew wants the so-called “unconstitutionally broad” search warrants the government utilized quashed, along with “the evidence and all fruits obtained from the warrants to search Combs’s residences, his person, his iCloud account, and his devices.” Along with past accusations that prosecutors are using “racist” laws against him and desiring to “police non-conforming sexual activity,” Diddy’s team is hoping to bleed out the case from the U.S.

Attorney of the Southern District of New York before it even gets in front of a jury. “On a theory that Mr. Combs’s entire life was a criminal enterprise, the government sought virtually limitless authority to seize any evidence related to that ‘enterprise’ — all his digital devices and the information they contained, all information in his iCloud accounts, plus troves of records and items in his houses, almost none of which was contraband,” reads a heavily redacted memorandum of law in support of the motion to “suppress evidence obtained through search warrants. “The misrepresentations and misleading omissions in the warrants are frequent and patterned,” the document, filed Sunday, asserts.
