Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

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.
