In the case of United States v. Sean Combs (24-cr-542), Mr. Combs' defense team has filed a reply memorandum to bolster their request for an evidentiary hearing. They argue that government agents, particularly from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), have engaged in misconduct by leaking confidential grand jury materials and investigative information to the media. The defense contends that these leaks have led to prejudicial pre-trial publicity, undermining Mr. Combs' right to a fair trial. They cite specific instances, such as the public dissemination of a 2016 videotape from the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles, which they allege was leaked by government agents to CNN.

The defense requests the court to grant an evidentiary hearing to investigate these alleged leaks and to determine the extent of government misconduct. They also seek discovery of emails, documents, and records related to the leaks, a gag order to prevent further unauthorized disclosures, and suppression of any evidence obtained through these alleged violations. The defense emphasizes that without a hearing, the full scope of the abuse will remain unknown, and they urge the court to exercise its authority to prohibit such tactics that undermine a defendant's right to a fair trial.
