联邦检察官否认泄露了酒店安全摄像头视频该视频显示，2016年，肖恩“吹牛老爹”库姆斯在洛杉矶一家酒店袭击了他当时的女友卡珊德拉·文图拉。
库姆斯在周三的一份法庭文件中指控联邦特工和检察官非法泄露这些镜头。该视频由美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)在5月和库姆斯获得承认其合法性并为自己在视频中的行为道歉。
检察官在给法官的信中否认泄露了视频。
“在美国有线电视新闻网公布该录像之前，政府并不掌握该录像。事实上，在CNN发表文章时，政府并不拥有2016年3月事件的任何视频，”检察官写道。
检察官还表示，在周三晚上提交文件指控泄露之前，他们通知辩方，他们没有通过大陪审团程序获得视频，他们不相信国土安全部的调查在CNN播出之前获得了视频。
“因此，被告关于政府向CNN泄露视频的说法没有可着色的事实基础，更不用说它是“违反大陪审团保密原则”泄露的，”检察官写道。
康姆斯被拘留，不得保释，因为他上个月被捕并被起诉用武力进行性交易、运输卖淫和敲诈勒索的阴谋。
辩护文件称，在他出庭的前夕，这位音乐大亨的律师声称，泄密“导致了破坏性的、高度偏见的审前宣传，这只会玷污陪审团，剥夺库姆斯获得公平审判的权利”。
库姆斯的律师特别针对国土安全部对他家的搜查进行了调查，并针对检察官2016年的视频进行了调查。
检察官在他们的起诉书中引用了这段视频，称当一名酒店保安人员介入时，库姆斯试图用“一叠现金”贿赂该员工，以平息事件。
被告方要求举行听证会并探究证据。
在周三提交给法官的另一份文件中，库姆斯表示，他希望在今年春天接受审判，罪名是诈骗阴谋、强迫性交易和卖淫。
“库姆斯先生继续主张他获得快速审判的权利，并打算要求审判日期在2025年4月或5月，并与法院的审判时间表保持一致，”辩护律师马克·阿格尼菲洛(Marc Agnifilo)和泰尼·杰拉戈斯(Teny Geragos)在库姆斯周四出庭前给法官的一封联名信中写道。
检察官没有表态。
“政府将在法院设定的日期接受审判，尽管在案件开始时或稍后时间设定审判日期仍属于法院的自由裁量权，”检察官写道。
库姆斯和他的律师说，他们希望案件能尽快进行。
“政府逮捕了他，政府希望他被拘留，我们将不得不尽一切可能来推动这件事，”阿格尼菲洛在之前的一次出庭中说。
库姆斯还面临着据称受害者的几起民事诉讼，他对刑事指控不认罪。
Prosecutors deny leaking hotel video of Sean 'Diddy' Combs attacking Cassie Ventura
Federal prosecutors have denied leaking thehotel security camera videothat showed Sean "Diddy" Combs attacking his then-girlfriend Casandra Ventura at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016.
Combs had accused federal agents and prosecutors of unlawfully leaking the footage in a court filing on Wednesday. The video was obtained by CNN in May and Combsacknowledged its legitimacyand apologized for his actions in the video.
Prosecutors denied leaking the video in a letter to the judge.
"The Government was not in possession of the video before its publication by CNN. Indeed, at the time of CNN's publication, the Government did not possess any video of the March 2016 incident," prosecutors wrote.
Prosecutors also said they informed the defense, prior to its filing Wednesday night alleging leaks, that they did not obtain the video through the grand jury process and they did not believe Homeland Security Investigations obtained the video prior to CNN airing it.
"There is thus no colorable factual basis for the defendant's claim that the Government leaked the video to CNN, let alone that it was leaked 'in violation of grand jury secrecy,'" prosecutors wrote.
Combs has been held without bail after hewas arrested and charged last monthwith sex trafficking by force, transportation to engage in prostitution and racketeering conspiracy.
On the eve of his court appearance, the music mogul's attorneys alleged leaks "have led to damaging, highly prejudicial pretrial publicity that can only taint the jury pool and deprive Mr. Combs of his right to a fair trial," the defense filing said.
Combs' attorneys took specific aim at Homeland Security investigations over the searches of his homes and at prosecutors over the 2016 video.
Prosecutors cited the video in their indictment contending that when a hotel security worker intervened, Combs tried to bribe the worker with a "stack of cash" to keep the incident quiet.
The defense asked for a hearing and an exploration of the evidence.
In a letter to the judge in a separate filing on Wednesday, Combs said he wants to stand trial this spring on charges of racketeering conspiracy, forced sex trafficking and prostitution.
"Mr. Combs continues to assert his right to a speedy trial and intends to request a trial date in April or May 2025, and as consistent with the Court's trial schedule," defense attorneys Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos wrote in a joint letter to the judge ahead of Comb's court appearance Thursday.
Prosecutors took no position.
"The Government will be available for trial on a date set by the Court, although it remains within the Court's discretion to set a trial date at the outset of the case or at a later time," prosecutors wrote.
Combs and his attorneys have said they want the case to move quickly.
"The government arrested him, the government wants him detained, and we're going to have to do everything possible to move this along," Agnifilo said during a prior court appearance.
Combs, who is also facing several civil lawsuits from alleged victims, has pleaded not guilty to the criminal charges.
