​Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team has alleged that CNN altered and destroyed the original surveillance footage depicting Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in a 2016 incident. According to a letter filed in Manhattan federal court, Combs' attorneys claim that a forensic video analysis revealed significant alterations, including the removal of timestamps, sequence changes, and speed adjustments, which they argue misrepresent the events. They assert that CNN purchased the sole known copy of the footage from the hotel, edited it using free software, and subsequently destroyed the original, despite being aware of an ongoing federal investigation. CNN has refuted these allegations, stating that they neither modified the video nor destroyed the original footage, which was retained by their source. Cassie Ventura's attorney, Douglas Wigdor, dismissed the claims as disingenuous attempts to exclude the video from evidence, expressing confidence that the footage accurately depicts the incident and will be admitted in court. This dispute arises as Combs faces charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, with his trial scheduled to commence on May 5, 2025. Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal team is currently engaged in a battle to prevent the use of a video showing him assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, from being used as evidence in his upcoming trial. The video, reportedly from a 2016 incident at a hotel, surfaced publicly through CNN in May 2024. Diddy’s lawyers argue that the government, specifically the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), unlawfully leaked the footage to tarnish his reputation and compromise his right to a fair trial. In their legal filings, Diddy’s team claims that the release of the video was strategically aimed at influencing public opinion and tainting the potential jury pool. They have requested an evidentiary hearing to investigate the alleged government misconduct, along with access to related documents and communications. Additionally, they are pushing for a gag order to prevent further leaks from government personnel and seeking to suppress the video from being admitted in court as evidence. The legal strategy centers on the argument that the video’s publication has led to damaging pre-trial publicity, which they claim jeopardizes Diddy's ability to receive an impartial trial. Meanwhile, Diddy faces serious charges, including racketeering and sex trafficking, and remains in custody awaiting his trial, scheduled for May 2025. This legal move reflects the high stakes for both Diddy and his legal team, as the video serves as a critical piece of evidence in the broader criminal case against him, alongside multiple civil lawsuits alleging abuse and misconduct. to contact me: bobbycapucci@protonmail.com source: <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2025/03/13/diddy-news-cnn-cassie-hotel-video-altered/82376404007/" target="_blank">CNN Diddy video beating Cassie altered, lawyers claim; network defends</a> Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support?utm_source=rss&amp;utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support</a>.
