Judge orders destruction of copies of Diddy's jail notes amid ongoing legal battle

A federal judge has ordered the destruction of copies of notes taken by Sean "Diddy" Combs in his Brooklyn jail cell, following claims from Combs' attorneys that the seizure of these notes violated attorney-client privilege. The decision came on Tuesday, as U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian considers legal arguments from Combs' defense team, who assert that the notes were protected by privilege, while prosecutors argue that the documents contained evidence of a potential witness tampering plot.

In response to the ruling, Combs shared his emotional reaction on social media, revealing that his older brother had unexpectedly passed away just days before the crucial RMR qualification for the Perfect World Shanghai Major. Despite the tragic loss, Combs went on to qualify for the tournament, promising to play his best in honor of his brother’s memory.

This ruling is part of an ongoing legal saga involving Combs, who faces federal charges related to racketeering, sex trafficking, and witness tampering. Prosecutors have accused Combs of attempting to influence witnesses, including allegedly instructing his family members to contact potential victims and jury members.

Combs' attorneys have also made various requests, including a gag order to prevent further pretrial publicity. These legal proceedings continue as Combs remains under investigation for serious allegations, including those related to abuse and misconduct, as detailed in multiple filings over the past months.
