The U.S. government has opposed Sean “Diddy” Combs' motion to suppress evidence obtained through search warrants in his criminal case, arguing that Combs has failed to meet the legal standard required for suppression. The prosecution asserts that the warrants were lawfully obtained based on substantial probable cause and that Combs' claims of material omissions and falsehoods in the warrant affidavits do not meet the high burden necessary for a Franks hearing (a legal proceeding to challenge the validity of a search warrant). The government contends that the search warrants were specific, targeting evidence directly related to Combs’ alleged crimes, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and other offenses. They also argue that any alleged omissions or misstatements in the affidavits were not material to the finding of probable cause and did not demonstrate intentional deception by law enforcement.

Furthermore, the opposition brief emphasizes that the search warrants were not overly broad and complied with legal standards, making them valid under the Fourth Amendment. The government argues that even if there were any technical flaws in the warrant applications, the good faith exception applies, meaning law enforcement acted within their authority and in reasonable reliance on judicial approval. Additionally, the prosecution maintains that the evidence collected is crucial for proving Combs’ alleged criminal enterprise, including coercion, violence, and obstruction efforts. As a result, they urge the court to reject Combs’ motion to suppress and allow the evidence to be used in the upcoming trial.
