Lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs accused the government of leaking evidence — including the 2016 video of him assaulting Cassie.
Lawyers for Sean 'Diddy' Combs on Wednesday accused the government of waging a campaign to leak evidence — including the 2016 video that shows him assaulting singer Cassie, his former girlfriend — and damaging the hip-hop mogul's right to a fair trial. Combs' lead attorneys said in a court filing that they might seek to have the video, which shows Combs kicking and striking Cassandra 'Cassie' Ventura in an L.A. hotel hallway, excluded from his trial.
' Federal officials have yet to comment on the filing. In addition to an evidentiary hearing to examine the alleged government misconduct, Combs' lawyers requested 'emails, documents and records in the possession of the government related to these leaks.' To prevent further leaks, they asked for 'a gag order prohibiting government personnel from disclosing any evidence or investigative material related to this case to any member of the media.
