Diddy’s Lawyers Say Jail Cell Sweep Violated His Rights: ‘Outrageous Government Conduct’

Attorneys for Sean “Diddy” Combs say prosecutors violated his right to attorney-client privilege by searching his jail cell and seizing materials

Attorneys for Sean “Diddy” Combs are firing back at allegations that he’s obstructing his sex trafficking case from behind bars, claiming prosecutors improperly searched his cell and violated his right to attorney-client privilege. “The targeted seizure of a pre-trial detainee’s work product and privileged materials – created in preparation for trial – is outrageous government conduct amounting to a substantive due process violation.” Responding to Combs’ latest effort to be released on bail, they said such an action would still pose a grave risk of obstruction of justice; in the process, they accused Diddy of trying to reach out to witnesses, leak favorable materials, and orchestrate “social media campaigns” to influence public opinion and taint the jury pool.
