Sean 'Diddy' Combs Moves to Suppress Evidence in Federal Sex Trafficking Case

Combs' legal team claims search warrants were overly broad and based on misleading information as trial approaches in May.

  • Sean 'Diddy' Combs' lawyers filed a motion to suppress evidence obtained through raids on his homes, phones, and iCloud accounts, arguing the warrants violated his Fourth Amendment rights.
  • The defense alleges federal agents used misleading and incomplete information to obtain the warrants, including omitting evidence that could suggest consensual participation by at least one alleged victim.
  • Prosecutors reportedly relied on testimony from an unnamed former associate, referred to as 'Producer-1,' whose credibility the defense has called into question, citing financial motives to fabricate claims.
  • Federal agents seized various items during the raids, including narcotics, surveillance equipment, and large quantities of personal lubricants, which the government claims were tied to alleged sex parties.
  • Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, remains in federal custody without bail, with his trial scheduled to begin in May.
