Diddy's request for a hearing on claims of government leaks to the media has been denied.

On Monday, a judge made the decision to reject Sean "Diddy" Combs' recent request for a hearing to present evidence. It was reported by The Wrap that Judge Arun Subramanian expressed disappointment with Combs' legal team for their failure to provide proof that the U.S. government had leaked confidential information to the media. This included the 2016 hotel surveillance footage of Combs violently attacking his ex-girlfriend, Cassie, which was obtained by CNN. The judge also noted that there was no evidence of the press being notified about the April raids on Combs' properties in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles.

The rapper and entrepreneur had accused the government, specifically the Department of Homeland Security, of carrying out a campaign against him for the past seven months. Combs believed that the timing of the leaked hotel video could only have been orchestrated by someone within the government. His court filing stated that the government "would have known" that May 17th was a significant date due to the "break in the [Donald] Trump trial" for Barron Trump's high school graduation. However, Judge Subramanian clarified that Combs had not provided enough evidence to support his claim that the government was responsible for the leak. The judge also pointed out that Combs had not provided a valid reason for why the government would have leaked the information.

In response to Combs' accusations, the judge reminded the public that the verdict of this case will be determined by the evidence presented in court, not through media speculation. He emphasized that this was not a "trial by newspapers." Despite Combs' belief that the government was involved, federal authorities have denied any involvement in the release of information to the press.

Currently, Combs remains in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, facing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals for prostitution. He has made multiple attempts to obtain bail, but they have all been denied. His federal trial is scheduled to begin on May 5, 2025.
