In United States v. Combs, Case No. 1:24-cr-00542-AS, the government filed an opposition to the defendant's motion for a hearing and other relief. The defendant, Sean Combs, had requested an evidentiary hearing to investigate alleged government misconduct, specifically claiming that unlawful leaks by government agents led to prejudicial pre-trial publicity. Combs sought discovery of government communications, a gag order to prevent further disclosures, and suppression of any evidence obtained through these alleged leaks.


The government's opposition argued that the defendant's motion lacked sufficient evidence to warrant the requested relief. They contended that there was no substantiated proof of unlawful leaks or misconduct by government personnel that would justify an evidentiary hearing or the suppression of evidence. The government maintained that existing legal safeguards were adequate to ensure a fair trial and that the defendant's claims were speculative, thus not meeting the legal standards required for the court to grant the motion.
