Sean Combs Fights to Exclude Video Evidence from Trial

Sean Combs, also known as "Diddy," is trying to keep certain evidence out of his upcoming trial. He claims the government leaked a video of him assaulting singer Cassie to the media, making it hard for him to get a fair trial. The video shows Combs hitting, kicking, and dragging Cassie as she tries to escape. Combs' lawyers say the Department of Homeland Security leaked the video to CNN to get an indictment and damage his reputation.

They argue that Cassie isn't likely the source because she got a big settlement. Combs is facing charges for sex trafficking and racketeering, and he says the government's actions have made it difficult for him to defend himself. His lawyers want to know if federal prosecutors broke rules about keeping grand jury information secret. If the court agrees, they might dismiss the charges or throw out the evidence.
