Last week a new witness in the Sean 'Diddy' Combs human trafficking case dropped bombshell testimony claiming he had knowledge of eight celebrities who were video taped at Diddy's freak off parties without consent, including two minors [click here if you missed that].
Now Diddy wants to gag the witness...
From ABC News
Attorneys for Sean "Diddy" Combs complained of a "deluge of improper pretrial publicity" and asked the judge overseeing his criminal case to order potential witnesses to keep quiet.
Combs' attorneys, Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos, said in a letter to the judge that statements by certain individuals are "undermining Mr. Combs' right to a fair trial and the integrity of the grand jury proceedings."
The letter followed grand jury testimony by a music producer who claimed to have had possession of a videotape of the hip-hop mogul engaged in sexual assaults of celebrities.
Combs is currently imprisoned on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking by force and transportation to engage in prostitution.
"These stories have spread rapidly through the media and created the impression that such videos exist, which is false, and that the government is actually crediting his sensational claims, which is profoundly prejudicial," the letter said.
The defense is asking for a court order gagging potential witnesses and their attorneys.The ruling is pending.

He’s right. Until the trial the accusations by those who might not actually be testifying at the trial should be released.
WHEN IT'S WORDED IN THAT WAY, YEAH, COMBS SHOULD BE GRANTED A GAG ORDER.
Anyone who testifies for the grand jury and lies, should immediately be arrested on perjury charges. That one guy claimed he was the godson of Frank Lucas, with no proof or confirmation from anyone. I don't believe one word he says and his attorney is a joke. He first said he was in possession of a video of Combs with celebrities and minors. But now he's changed it and said he only saw the videos. Lies! These people just want to become famous and make the rounds doing interviews on youtube for a check. There are real victims out there but they're being overshadowed by this foolishness.
IF THAT'S TRUE & IF HE'S THE SAME GUY HE SHOULD BE PENALIZED FOR IT.
No fun when the rabbit got the gun and jail keys and video tapes.
