Federal prosecutors claim Sean 'Diddy' Combs has attempted to blackmail witnesses and influence testimony from jail ahead of his sex-trafficking trial, allegedly using other inmates' phone codes for three-way calls. They argue this behavior demonstrates a disregard for legal procedures, while his legal team maintains these actions are part of an attorney-client privilege dispute. Combs, arrested in September on serious charges including racketeering and sex trafficking, has pleaded not guilty and seeks bail, but prosecutors argue he poses a direct threat to the integrity of the case.
