Lawyers for Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs accused prosecutors on Monday of engaging in “outrageous government conduct” by using materials seized from his jail cell to try to keep him incarcerated before a May trial.

Attorneys for Sean "Diddy" Combs are accusing prosecutors of leveraging private legal writings seized from his jail cell to keep him behind bars until his May trial.

Evidence found in Sean "Diddy" Combs' jail cell suggests he has influenced a witness in his New York sex trafficking and racketeering case and is trying to blackmail others, prosecutors allege. They say that he has sought to avoid federal detection by using three-way calls and other inmates' phone access codes.
