Sean 'Diddy' Combs' lawyer complains about trial secrecy as a famous rapper's name goes unmentioned
A lawyer for Sean "Diddy" Combs protested the rising tide of secrecy at the hip-hop icon's federal sex trafficking and racketeering trial on Thursday.
That meeting added a two-hour delay to the start of the sixth and final day of testimony from a woman identified in court only by the pseudonym "Jane," who dated Combs from 2001 until his arrest last September. And many of the letters to the judge from lawyers each day are filed under seal, preventing the public from quickly knowing, for instance, the grounds under which prosecutors are trying to get a Black juror ejected from the jury in mid-trial. Assistant U.S. Attorney Maureen Comey attacked Agnifilo's rationale for disclosing more information publicly with the risk that it would be easier for someone to guess Jane's identity, saying it was an "attempt to harass and intimidate this witness."
