Sean “Diddy” Combs alleges witnesses and their attorneys are sabotaging his right to a fair trial through character assassination. In legal documents obtained by TMZ, Diddy asserts his constitutional right to a fair trial is being compromised.
Diddy faces federal charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution, carrying a possible life sentence. He claims the courts must prevent a “carnival atmosphere” in high-profile cases like his.
Diddy’s lawyers argue that witnesses’ attorneys have made inflammatory comments to the media, destroying his character before trial. They cite a rule requiring lawyers to refrain from making unauthorized statements about the accused.
Diddy’s legal team says several lawyers have made “false allegations of sexual assault and abuse of minors” to news outlets. Diddy seeks a gag order to ensure a fair trial.
