Prosecutors Claim Diddy Has Led 'Relentless' Campaign to 'Blackmail' Witnesses from Jail

Combs has been behind bars since his September arrest, awaiting trial on federal sex crime charges.

Federal prosecutors are once again urging a judge not to grant Sean "Diddy" Combs bail, claiming the mogul has attempted to tamper with witnesses and influence potential jurors from behind bars. Prosecutors say Combs, from jail, "monitored the analytics" and "audience engagement — and explicitly discussed with his family how to ensure that the video had his desired effect on potential jury members in this case." The motion requesting bail claims the prosecution’s case is “thin" and cites a March 2016 video referenced in the initial indictment against the Bad Boy Records founder, in which he appears to violently assault a woman in a Los Angeles hotel.
