Prosecutors Deny Leaking Cassie Ventura Video


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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

LOLOL said...

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.

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. 😂

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.
