Sean 'Diddy' Combs Claims Government Leaked Attack Video to CNN, Prosecutors Deny Allegations
Sean "Diddy" Combs has accused federal prosecutors of leaking hotel security footage showing him attacking Cassie Ventura in 2016. The footage, obtained by CNN in May, led Combs to publicly apologize for actions he had previously denied.

Federal prosecutors strongly deny these allegations, stating they did not possess the video before CNN's publication. They clarified that the footage was not obtained through grand jury proceedings, and Homeland Security Investigations had not accessed it prior to CNN's release.
Combs, currently held without bail, faces serious charges including:
- Sex trafficking
- Transportation to engage in prostitution
- Racketeering conspiracy
His defense team argues that information leaks have resulted in prejudicial publicity that could compromise his right to a fair trial. They are requesting a trial date in April or May 2025.
