arrested Sean Combs, based on
a sealed indictment filed by
the SDNY. We expect to
move to unseal the indictment
in the morning and will have
more to say at that time."

asked if his office would be
seeking detention - Yes, he
said. Detention memo on

On November 18,
Combs' lawyers filed for a
hearing, arguing that "prosecutors are
in possession of attorney
client privileged material,
including the defendant’s own
written notes" - filing on
Patreon here
After 5 pm on
November 18, the time
specified by Judge
Subramanian, the US Attorney's
Office replied that no hearing
is necessary, "This exhibit is
being filed under seal
pursuant to the protective
order governing discovery in
this case" - letter on Patreon
here
On November 19,
after winning an order to
unshackle Combs, his lawyers
wrote in that "Investigator 1
targeted Combs and
photographed these notes in
the first place: because there
was a plot to get these
attorney client materials. And
once they got them, the first
thing they did was use them,
specifically use them by
putting them in a bail letter
to keep Combs in jail. The
Government’s proffered
explanation for how it got
this information is internally
inconsistent and not credible.
As a result, a hearing is
required" - letter on Patreon
here.
