Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs tried to subpoena witnesses in prison during sex-trafficking trial: docs

Sean “Diddy” Combs allegedly tried to deceive victims and potential witnesses and “corrupt” public opinion while incarcerated while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges, according to court documents filed Friday and obtained by Fox News Digital.

The rapper, 55, has been held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center since his September arrest on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for the purpose of prostitution.

“Since the defendant was arrested in the MDC, he continued to try to evade the enforcement of the law, interfere with the testimony of witnesses, and continue to attack the integrity of the cases,” said the prosecutors.

Manhattan prosecutors urged a judge to deny Combs’ latest bail request, as two other judges ruled he was a danger to the public.

Prosecutors said a review of recorded jailhouse calls made by Combs showed he asked family members to reach out to potential victims and witnesses and urged them to create “stories” that would sway a judge. Prosecutors also said Combs promoted marketing tactics to sway public opinion.

“The defendant has shown repeatedly – even while incarcerated – that he will repeatedly ignore the rules in order to have a negative impact on his case. The defendant has shown, in other words, that he cannot be trusted to abide by the rules or conditions,” prosecutors said in redacted documents.

Prosecutors alleged that Combs’ intent was “to blackmail victims and witnesses into remaining silent or providing evidence helpful to his defense.”

The disgraced music star is also accused of breaking prison rules by instructing callers, including family members and lawyers, to “add more people in three calls.”

“This practice is also not approved by the BOP (Federal Bureau of Prisons) as it helps to hide the names of the people being contacted,” the court wrote.

“The defendant’s repeated violations of BOP rules — beginning immediately after arriving at MDC — speak volumes for his ability to comply with any conditions of release.”

Attorneys and representatives for Combs did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Combs’ attempts to obstruct justice in prison come ahead of his upcoming sex-trafficking trial. He pleaded not guilty.

Last week, Combs filed a new bail application, saying that changed circumstances, along with new evidence, warranted that he be allowed to prepare for his trial in a foreign prison.

On Nov. 8, Combs’ attorneys filed a motion in federal court in Manhattan, where his previous requests for bail had been rejected by two judges since his arrest in September.
