Now prosecutors have to produce a sworn affidavit proving they were not the source...

Sean “Diddy” Combs has won a small but significant step in his fight against alleged leaks to the media, as a federal judge ordered prosecutors to produce a sworn affidavit affirming they are not the source of leaked information.
U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian issued the directive Monday (December 2), setting a clear December 4 deadline for compliance.
The latest development comes after Diddy’s attorneys accused federal agents and prosecutors of improperly disclosing details to the press.
They argued that the alleged leaks have fueled a wave of prejudicial media coverage, posing a severe threat to the Hip-Hop mogul’s right to a fair trial.
Among the claims leveled by the defense is the accusation that a 2016 surveillance video depicting Diddy attacking a former girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, was leaked by individuals tied to the case.
Prosecutors, however, have firmly denied the allegations, calling Diddy’s claims “grasping at straws” in a series of responses submitted to the Court.
