Six months ago surveillance video leaked of Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs assaulting his then girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a hotel hallway [click here if you missed that].
Prosecutors in Diddy's human trafficking case deny leaking the video...
A video showing Sean 'Diddy' Combs violently assaulting his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura was not illegally leaked to CNN by prosecutors because they did not have it at the time, attorneys insisted last night.
Federal prosecutors made the claim in a new filing, which accuses the rapper's lawyers of trying to 'suppress a damning piece of evidence' and prevent jurors from seeing Combs 'brutally assaulting a victim'.
Combs' lawyers made the leak claims earlier this month, but government attorneys responded by urging the judge overseeing the case to reject their request for an evidentiary hearing on Wednesday.
'Without any factual basis, the leak motion seeks to suppress highly probative evidence… by claiming that it was grand jury material leaked by government agents,' prosecutors wrote.
'But, as the defendant is fully aware, the video was not in the Government's possession at the time of CNN's publication and the Government has never, at any point, obtained the video through grand jury process.'
The video, shared by CNN back in May, shows Combs attacking Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway in 2016.
Combs' attorneys have demanded an investigation into the alleged leaks, claiming they had 'led to damaging, highly prejudicial pre-trial publicity that can only taint the jury pool and deprive Mr Combs of his right to a fair trial.'
They specifically pointed to the 2016 video, claiming it was 'leaked' to 'mortally wound the reputation and the prospect of Sean Combs successfully defending himself against these allegations.'
'Rather than using the videotape as trial evidence, alongside other evidence that gives it context and meaning, the agents misused it in the most prejudicial and damaging way possible,' his lawyers went on.
Wednesday's filing also responded to Combs' recent demand that the names of his alleged victims be revealed.
His lawyers claimed earlier this month that he cannot be fairly defended without access to this information.
The government said that such disclosures would result in 'serious risks' to the alleged victims' safety.

The government is probably just lying. I believe they released it.
THE FEDS ARE INDEED LYING. THEY KNOW THEY'D LEAKED THIS FOOTAGE THAT NO ONE ELSE KNEW ABOUT EXCEPT THE PARTIES INVOLVED & THE HOTEL STAFF.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, RIGHT BEFORE THE FEDS RAID HIS HOMES & ARREST COMBS, AFTER CASSIE FILED HER COMPLAINT THEN SETTELD A DAY LATER FOR AN SETTLEMENT IN THE MILLIONS, THIS FOOTAGE SHOWS UP & IS ALL OVER THE MEDIA.
I DON'T BELIEVE IN COINCIDENCES-
THE FEDS ARE LYING.
I think your caps lock button is broken.
NOPE, WORKS JUST FINE-CAN'T YOU TELL?!? LOL @ THE TROLLERS!
HAPPY SUNDAY!
@1:50pm. It's a keyboard from Temu.
ACTUALLY IT'S AN HP KEYBOARD I'M TYPING ON.
I ONLY REMOVE THE CAP LOCK WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT'S NECESSARY.
ON TOPIC: THE GOVERNMENT KNOW THEY'RE LYING ABOUT WHETHER THEY'D LEAKED THAT FOOTAGE OR NOT.
EVERYONE ELSE IS ENTITLED TO BELIEVE WHATEVER THEY WISH WHETHER ON TOPIC OR OFF.
Oh they certainly released the video. As old as the video is why was it never released only until they made the raid. They think we are fools🙄
YOU SEE.
THE HOTEL SHOULD'VE RELEASED THIS WHEN IT OCCURRED INSTEAD OF ACCEPTING A PAYOUT FROM COMBS.
THE HUMANITY NOW DAYS ESPECIALLY AS IT PERTAINS TO THE WELL-BEING OF FEMALES SUCKS IN THIS COUNTRY.
Upgrade your HP 🤣🤣🤣
You on here everyday all throughout the day. Go see your grandkids.
They are dreaming. His lawyers are saying the video tape should have been released in court with the other evidence because the other evidence gives the video "context." Ain't no "context" gonna make that video acceptable.
His lawyers really have some nerve to even complain about the release of the video. If Cassie isn't complaining then no one else should either. Especially him.
TROLLERS GONNA STAY TROLLING!
Y'ALL NOT HELPING THE SITE THOUGH-IT'S STILL GOT EYES ON IT!
It’s got eyes on you too. Duh. What site doesn’t have watchers. Stay on topic. Your the troll you’re professing others to be.
EXCEPT I DON'T TARGET/HARASS/ATTACK TROLLERS WHO'D SOUGHT ME OUT!
I'M ALWAYS ON TOPIC, TROLL!
IT'S TROLLS WHO COME AT ME
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 3RD 2024 @3:31 PM TARGETING/HARASSING/ATTACKING ME & ABANDONING THE TOPIC TO DO SO!
I DON'T CARE THAT "EYES ARE ON ME". IT PROTECTS ME BECAUSE IT SHOWS I'M NOT TROLLING & INSULTING ANYONE UNLESS THEY TARGETED/HARASSED/ATTACKED TOWARDS ME!
None of what you just typed was on topic. Quit writing reports to yourself everyday talking to yourself.
The Feds released it. No one believes they didn’t. When is Clive Davis gonna have to testify or get put in the clank?!
MINDING MY BUSINESS WHEN TROLLS BEGAN TROLLING AFTER I POSED ON TOPIC 1:36; 2:13; & 2:22PM!
AFTER THAT, TROLLS CAME IN TO DO WHAT Y'ALL DO!
LOL- DON'T BLAME ME BECAUSE YOU TROLLS WHO'D TROLLED ME ON MULTIPLE POSTS HAVE NOTHING GOING ON IN YOUR LIVES THAT YOU THOUGHT IT BEST TO TROLL THE ONE WHO TYPES IN ALL CAPS!
GET ON TOPIC-YOU HAVEN'T POSTED NOTHING ON THE FEDS LEAKING THIS FOOTAGE YET! TOO BUSY WORRYNG ABOUT WHAT THE ONE WHO POST IN ALL CAPS IS DOING!
how could the feds leak something they did not have??? the only people that had the tape was Diddy and , the hotel and maybe Cassie.
COPIES MUST HAVE BEEN MADE BY SECURITY AT THE HOTEL TO USE AGAINST COMBS IN THE FUTURE JUST INCASE THEY COULDN'T GET PUFF TO CONTINUOUSLY PAY THE. SO, THE MANAGEMENT MAY'VE SENT THE POLICE OR A HIGHER AUTHORITY A COPY.
WE'LL FIND OUT IN LESS THAN 7 MONTHS WHEN THE TRIAL STARTS.
Someone at that hotel leaked it first or someone close to Diddy. Either way, the damage is done.
Can't put the genie back in the bottle.
Please refrain from using all-caps. It makes your post hard to read, so I tend to ignore them.
THE TOPIC IS WHETHER OR NOT THE GOVERNMENT HAD LEAKED THE FOOTAGE OF CASSIE BEING BEATEN BY SEAN PUFFY/P-DIDDY COMBS-NOT ON THE ONE WHO POST IN ALL CAPS.
IT'S SAD WHEN SOMEONE CAN'T READ BIG, BOLD LETTERS
I'VE SAID IT MANY TIMES THAT I POST MY OPINIONS AS I FEEL ABOUT IT. I'M NOT SHOUTING, BUT IF YOU FEEL THE ALL CAPS IS AGGRESSIVE THEN FEEL FREE TO "IGNORE". I PROMISE YOU I WON'T BE FFENDED BY YOU DOING SO.
@434. Everyone ignores All Caps for the reason you mentioned. You try to read it and you have to give up, especially if its a long post. Some people need attention and they’re easy to spot.
JUST ADMIT IT, 5:45PM YOU'RE 4:34PM AREN'T YOU?
I'M POSTING MY VIEWPOINTS & OPINIONS ON THE TOPIC JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE BUT I GET HEAVILY TROLLED BECAUSE OF HOW I POSTS MY VIEWPOINTS/OPINIONS.
I PREFER COMMENTERS TO JUST FOCUS THEIR ATTENTION ON THE SUBJECT MATTER/TOPIC. IT DOESN'T MATTER TO ME WHETHER MINE GETS READ OR NOT.
TROLLERS SEEK ME OUT, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
I think they have enough evidence from testimony from so many people that they don't need the video. The worldwide public had to see the rumors that were circling around for decades. Now we have proof.
I said a month ago to ignore Wack-O-Caps and some of y'all came after me for saying to ignore her.
NAME CALLING IS FOR CHILDREN NOT EDUCATED ENOUGH TO HOLD AN INTELLIGENT CONVERSATION MATURELY.
TROLLS STAY TROLLING THOUGH.
I'M STILL SITTING HERE FEET PROPPED UP LISTENING TO SOME OLD SCHOOL AL GREEN, SIPPING A PIPING HOT MUG OF TEA, & COMPLETELY UNBOTHERED! LOL!
This is a little off topic but I guess Diddy is eating again. No reports of him still refusing to eat. It must have dawned on him he wasn't getting out on bail. I wonder how those ramen noodles and candy bars are hitting him right about now. Got him all bloated and constipated. 😂
This is the liveliest this blog has been in years. I don't care how you comment just do it!
Can’t unring a bell. Don’t dong, who is it? Justice., justice who? Justice for all that was pluked and diddle against their will by the diddler!
@2:05 🤣🤣🤣
I need this gut buster
STILL KICKED BACK, FEET PROPPED UP, LISTENING TO OLD SCHOOL AL GREEN WHILE SIPPING ON PIPING HOT TEA WITH A SIDE OF LEMON, & NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD ABOUT THE IGNORANCE OF FOLKS.
Your knees popped on your way back to your desk I bet. Get the Vicks ready. Those puffy feet should stay elevated though ain’t that right Auntie.
STAY IN YOUR LANE-YOU TRYNNA COME AT A HEAVYWEIGHT IN THIS GAME.
KICKED BACK, FEET PROPPED UP LISTENINGTO SOME OLD SCHOOL MILES DAVIS SIPPING ON SOME MORE PIPING HOT TEA WITH A SIDE OF LEMON WITH NARRY A CARE IN THE WORLD FOR THE IGNORANCE OF TROLLERS WHO COME ON THIS SITE TO TROLL!
IT'S LIKE TROLLERS COME LOOKING FOR ME
I'M TYPING UP MY COMPLAINT FOR THE FTC ON THE EVENTS OF TODAY ALONE ON RWS!
SHOUT OUT TO ALL CAPS!!! YOU MADE MY DAY!!! 💜❤️💜❤️💜
Auntie's knees are poppin' while walkin' back to a Temu keyboard and smelling like Vicks. That's about right. LOL
I LOVE THAT I'M THE FIRST PERSON TROLLERS THINK ABOUT &THE LAST PERSON THAT'S ON TROLLERS' BRAINLESS MINDS AT THE END OF DAYS!
Nah, someone who NO LONGER is afraid of Diddy dropped tgat tape. It was a message. 💯 Might have been Jay or Clive as well since they both acting like they got amnesia and never met Puff. Either way... it's a wrap.
The fact that their actual copies of that recording is not proof the prosecution released it.
Just subpoena CNN. Problem solved.
I agree with 10:12, it just so happen to drop the day after Christian's loud mouth behind made that song about being untouchable. Diddy's son probably should have looked at the bank account/safe first so he would realize that their isnt enough money to keep acting reckless like they daddy did.
All of it was IOUs and favors.
