(NewsNation) — Defense attorneys for Sean “Diddy” Combs are seeking to suppress evidence they call “illegally” obtained during the raids on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami.

The raids eventually led to Combs’ federal criminal indictment. 

The embattled music producer argued warrants executed by federal prosecutors were “grossly overbroad” and were based on “false statements and omitted critical exculpatory evidence,” according to a motion filed Sunday.

They argued that warrant applications for Combs’ two homes, phones, iCloud accounts and hotel room “presented a grossly distorted picture of reality” so that investigators could easily gain access to evidence. 

“The probable cause statements were intentionally misleading,” his attorneys wrote. “But it worked — the government got its warrants, leaked damaging information and then executed its military-style raids at Combs’ residences.”

Defense lawyers argued that evidence showed that one alleged victim’s involvement in his “Freak-Off” parties was “voluntary and consensual” and “not coerced as the government suggested in its applications.” 

They also call into question a witness named “Producer-1,” whom they alleged was “an utterly unreliable witness whose claims were contradicted by other evidence that the government failed to mention.” 

Combs is seeking to suppress all evidence obtained through these searches or grant a hearing to examine the government’s conduct in obtaining the warrants.

Combs was charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution and is currently awaiting trial set for May.

He has pleaded not guilty to all three criminal counts and has been in custody since his September arrest in Manhattan.

Combs has been accused of luring victims by promising a romantic relationship before using threats, intimidation and abuse to force them to engage in various sexual activities. 

Those activities include so-called “Freak-Offs,” in which victims were allegedly directed to engage in extended sex acts with male sex workers on film.

Prosecutors allege Combs drugged victims during those sessions and sometimes kept the footage without the victim’s knowledge. In many cases, victims were reportedly transported across state lines. 

Combs also faces a mounting list of civil lawsuits that allege abuse and sexual assault by multiple victims spanning over 30 years. 

He has denied all allegations against him.
