Sean 'Diddy' Combs' legal team has launched a fierce constitutional challenge against federal search warrants executed at his properties, calling evidence collected from his homes and digital accounts illegally obtained. In Sunday’s court filing, defense attorneys accused prosecutors of presenting distorted reality through omission of critical context in warrant applications.
The motion claims investigators excluded exculpatory details about a key witness described as having financial motives to fabricate claims. While heavily redacted, the document asserts the government’s narrative intentionally omitted details that would have challenged probable cause:
The government hid exculpatory evidence to bolster its case... resulting in military-style raids at Combs's residences
Central to the dispute are allegations from an unnamed producer (called Producer-1) whose accounts of working with Combs reportedly form part of the prosecution’s evidence. Defense attorneys argue these claims were never credible, noting prosecutors don’t plan to call this witness at trial.
The filing seeks to suppress all evidence obtained through searches of:
- Combs' Los Angeles and Miami residences
- Private iCloud accounts and mobile devices
- A hotel room connected to the investigation
This development follows Combs' not guilty plea to racketeering and sex trafficking charges involving three women. His lawyers counter that Cassie Ventura participated willingly in alleged encounters, contradicting prosecution claims of coercion. Federal prosecutors have yet to publicly respond, reserving arguments for formal court rebuttals.
As the legal battle intensifies, Combs maintains complete innocence through representatives: Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone – truth will prevail in court. The case continues to spotlight constitutional debates about search warrant integrity in high-profile investigations.
