Federal prosecutors can temporarily no longer use a notebook seized from Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ jail cell that reportedly contains incriminating notes related to his ongoing legal battle.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian ruled that the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office must turn over photos of a 19-page notebook obtained during a raid of Combs’ jail cell last month. Prosecutors are also barred from using the material during Combs’ upcoming bond hearing on Friday.
The music mogul, facing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation for involvement in prostitution, has pleaded not guilty. He also faces several civil lawsuits filed in recent months.

The notebook, labeled “Things to Do,” reportedly contains notes about paying off potential witnesses and digging up damaging information about the two alleged victims. Prosecutors have suggested that this evidence could support additional charges of obstruction of justice against the artist.

Prosecutor Mary Slavich defended the seizure, saying, “The government obtained these materials through entirely proper channels.” She argued that Combs’s notes, which included anonymous “inspirational quotes” along with plans to target witnesses, were outside attorney-client privilege protections.
However, Combs’ legal team strongly opposed the government’s actions, calling them “outrageous.” One of Combs’ attorneys, Mark Agnifilo, accused federal authorities of overreach. “This has been a complete institutional failure,” Agnifilo said, arguing that the raid and seizure violated attorney-client privilege.

Judge Subramaniam has ordered the notebook kept safe for now while he considers whether prosecutors can use it to make an obstruction case.
Combs, 55, was arrested in September and has since been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. His legal team has repeatedly sought his release on bail and has proposed $50 million as a condition. His next bail hearing has been fixed for Friday.
