Diddy to accuse DOJ of grand jury 'leaks' in sex-trafficking case
- Lawyers for Combs plan a motion Wednesday condemning "leaks" relating to his sex-trafficking case.
- The issue may be argued at Combs' next court date, scheduled for Thursday in Manhattan.
Lawyers for Sean "Diddy" Combs alleged Wednesday that unauthorized grand jury leaks have prejudiced his sex-trafficking case.
"At some point today, Mr. Combs intends to file a motion for a hearing and other remedies related to unauthorized and prejudicial leaks of grand jury information," attorneys Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos said in a letter to the federal judge in Manhattan now assigned to the case.
Combs' issue with alleged leaks was the most volatile issue raised in the letter, drafted jointly by federal prosecutors and the defense to inform US District Court Judge Arun Subramanian of the issues to be discussed at the next in-court hearing, scheduled for Thursday.
The two-page letter also alerts the judge that the parties intend to discuss on Thursday what federal prosecutors called the "voluminous" evidence in the case.
The evidence to be shared by prosecutors with the defense via the discovery process includes "several terabytes of electronic material," prosecutors wrote.
